For the literati:

May a flock of blessings light upon thy back. (Shakespeare - Romeo and Juliet)

In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Here's to the happy man: all the world loves a lover.

For the mathematician:

May your love be added, may it never be subtracted, may your household multiply, and may your hearts never be divided!!

For the verse-atile:

May thy life be long and happy,
Thy cares and sorrows few;
And the many friends around thee
Prove faithful, fond and true.

Here's to the happy couple - my you survive your wedding and still be in love

For men of few words:

May "for better or worse" be far better than worse.
