How to Compliment an Ugly Bride or Groom*
* without sinning by telling a lie...
I know this is difficult, but when the couple to be wed is ugly, you are sinning if you tell them they're handsome/beautiful.
One thing you can say is: I'd LIKE to compliment you on how beautiful you look today. Note, you said you would LIKE to compliment...
YOUR THOUGHTS?
Jesus - gentle, dependable overnight relief.

Focus on one or two specific things: "I love your hair!" or "That's a really nice tux."
Mark 16:17 And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My Name they will drive out demons.
1 Kings 21:14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned . . .

Father, In Jesus' Name, I take the Blood of Jesus and break the power of all witches, warlocks, wizards, satanists, sorcerers, wiccans, pagans, and any other source, and all of their rituals off of us. With the Blood of Jesus, I erase all evil lines drawn on our liver. . .

I've told many an unfortunate Brother that his new wife must be an excellent cook, judging by the size of her. That seems to work.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

That is a fine compliment, Pastor, but please be mindful that it is best said out of earshot of the blushing wideload bride.

I think it's lovely the way you're carrying on the family tradition of marrying close cousins, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
OK, sorry, I guess that's not the Christian thing to say. How about, My, you two are positively glowing today! Yours is truly a match made in Heaven.
Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name.... Jeremiah 10:25

How about:
" I can't wait to snap a picture of you two lovebirds feeding each other a big slice of wedding cake"
"Who's your Dentist? I couldn't help but notice your teeth!"
Judges 15:16
And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.

"Lord bless! You sure are a well-matched couple."

"Now, you two remember that youth and beauty don't last forever!"
"How about them mashed potatoes! Hallelujah!"

AMEN Brother. Your words are always sooo eloquent.
I told this happy couple that it was a "lovely ceremony" but on the inside I was marveling at how truly homely these two were and how happy I was that JESUS had them meet and fall in love because, really let's be honest here, these two both have a face that not even a mother could love.
I hope Brother Worthington chimes in on this one. He is like you Brother OEJ and has such a wonderful way with words.

Yoooou can say that again, Sister! Awww, aren't they precious?
1st Timothy 2: 9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
1st Timothy 2: 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works ...
1 Timothy 5: 16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed ...
Proverbs 31: 26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness ...
Proverbs 31: 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness ...
