It is Written
I will be 'cleaning up nice' in a few weeks, best man for a very good friend's wedding. I'll be all scrubbed and polished--ya better look fast. (Pictures, I'm sure, will be posted.) My friend the groom has asked that I select a few Bible verses about marriage and add some appropriate commentary. I've started thinking about this, and so far, this is what I've come up with:
"With such nagging she prodded him day after day until he was tired to death."
Judges 16:16 New International Version (NIV)
Just kidding. Honey. Really, SugarLump.

Does this mean you will also wear a suit? This I gotta see.
You might consider a George Bernard Shaw quote:
"Marriage is like a long, dull meal with the desert at the beginning."

One of my favorites is from Proverbs. "Better to live on the corner of a roof than in a house with a contentious woman". An altrnative dwelliing suggested by Proverbs is "the wilderness". But Proverbs 18:22 is best "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of the Lord".
