I'm writing a story that contains thye following bit of dialogue:
“Weddings are happy occasions for everyone except the bridegroom,” he said, “and for the father of the bride. One has lost his freedom, and the other his fortune.”
The problem is that I don't believe I made this up; I'm sure I must have gotten it from somewhere, but I don't know where. I've searched through Shakespeare, but came up empty. Has anyone read something like this before, and can you remember where it was?
