Ed quote on Love for my wedding

jonathanjonathan Posts: 20
edited July 2004 in Words and Music...Communication
Strange one I know - I am getting married in a month and here (England) it is customary that the groom has to give a speech and part of that is explaining how much you feel towards your wife.
Not being a great speech writer can anybody help me and give me a good quote from ed (or It could be a lyric) that I can drop into my speech - It would mean a lot to me as I have been a huge fan for years and drawn a lot from pearl jam's music.
What do you think??.

    well, the first one that came ot mind is:
    "I know it's already been sung, can't be said enough. Love is all you need, all you need is love." - Love Boat Captain
    That one's kinda to the point, or maybe you could take some parts from "Thin Air".. "How to be happy and true is the quest we're takin on together.."
    i dunno, that's all I have right now.
    There's a fear they'll soon be parting ways.

    yep, that's the one!

    that quote is the answer to the question every time people ask about something for their wedding.

    say it, put it in the program, print it on your thank-you notes.


    our stone, ever the romantic.

    I find PJ has a lot more quotable lyrics for divorce than for marriage.
    And I've related to all of them!

    But, having said that, I think one of the more romantic,
    quotable lyrics would be from 'Untitled'

    Only thing I have to suggest is OCEANS, the whole entire song is just beautiful and romantic...definitely demands your heart and I see it as being all about unity and commitment. GORGEOUS song...every single lyric. :o


    Also....

    :: Love is a tower....and you're the key :: :)




    Good luck man, and congrats. Bringing PJ into a weeding always= a very beautiful thing. Makes it all that much more. :)

    Young lover I stand. It was their Idea.
    Will I prove to be a man?

    Take, my lucky hand. It was their Idea.
    Will I prove to be a man.

    don't it make you smile?
    don't it make you smile?
    when the sun don't shine? (it don't shine at all)
    don't it make you smile?
    don't it make you smile?
    don't it make me smile?
    when the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all
    don't it make me smile?
    ...
    this is how i feel...

    =================================
    thin air


    how to be happy and true is the quest we're taking home together


    =================================

    that's all for now.

    "didn't ed say something like.. if u love something let it go, and if it comes back don't fuck it up..

    Child of the 90's - this has to be one of my favourite ed quotes. It was in the sleeve notes for lost dogs (I think for the song "hold on" - but I coiuld be wrong).
    The quote was "If you love somebody let them go - if they love you don't fuck up"

    What a GENIUS>

    sorry just read the lost dogs notes and my mistake it should read-
    "If you love somebody set them free - if they love you dont fuck up."

    How about "We were but stones, Your light made us stars"
    I know its said in the past tense but its beautiful
    And we're all allowed to dream of the next time we touch.
  • releaseNYreleaseNY Posts: 153
    excellent. you chose the correct quote!!!!! i've convinced people who don't even know who pearl jam is (are?) to put that quote on their wedding programs.


    congrats and good luck!

    How about a PJ cover? I'm thinking, "Why do I keep fuckin up?"

    Perfect. It's all about forgiveness, right? :-)

    I wouldn't advise playing the song at the wedding. Actual lyrics may vary.

    What about Long Road.

    I'm lookin at the book for "Lost Dogs" right now, and he said that on the page for "Hold On".
