My son's my son till he gets him a wife.
To change the name and not the letter is to change for the worse and not the better.
Wedlock's a padlock.
He who marrieth does well; but he who refrains from marriage doth better.
Needles and pins; needles and pins,
When a man marries, his trouble begins.
Honest men marry soon,
Wise men not at all.
Marry in haste: repent at leisure.
He who repents him not of his marriage, sleeping and waking, in a year and a day, may lawfully go to Dunmow and fetch a gammon of bacon.
It will not always be a honeymoon.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage and half shut afterwards.
