Wedding Quote?

My brothers getting married on the weekend and he's a massive Pearl Jam fan and i thought it'd be good to end my best man speech with a pearl jam quote/lyric that would suit the occasion. I know it's pretty hard to find a suitable lyric in Pearl Jam songs so any help would be appreciated. The only one i have so far is the chorus from Love Boat Captain:

Hold me, and make it the truth,
that when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don’t mean a thing
And there’s just one word that I still believe and its
Love,... love. love.

    Their lyrics don't really lend themselves to wedding speeches terribly well. Off the top of my head, this comes to mind:

    "We make it up as we go along
    With you I could never be alone"

    What about, "i'd rather be with an animal" or on second thoughts maybe not that one.

    This broken wheel is coming undone
    And the roads exploding
    But you're keeping me strong
    Rolling along with you,...

    Love is a tower
    And you're the key
    Leading me higher
    When you let me in

    Keeping us close,... so close
    On down the line

    Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun
    With no one knowing
    But you're keeping me strong
    Rolling along with you

    You are a tower of
    Strength to me
    The darkening hour
    Sees light again

    Ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah
    Ooh wah, ooh wah, you are... you are

    Love is a tower
    Of strength to me
    I am the shoreline
    But you're the sea

    You are.

    ooooh how exciting! my husband and i made a cd of PJ tunes for the dinner hour of our reception...played "U" for the bouquet toss, and of course ended the night with Yellow Ledbetter! (had a good mix of Ben Harper in there - if he likes ben, that would be a more fruitful place to find appropriate wedding quotes, i think...but i'll do some digging for you!)

    ETA i like the suggestion of You Are, too!

    I quoted this to my wife in my wedding speech.

    You could always end off the speeches with 'Fuck the talkin' let's start the rockin.'
    Hail, hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love.

    Yup, that's what I was going to say.
