When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible “ When Harry Met Sally
We are two vines curved to one another… twined into one stem—too alike and near to discern the changes of our growing. Walter Benton
What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined for life—to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent, unspeakable memories… George Eliot (1819-1880)
Love is born with the pleasure of looking at each other, it is fed with the necessity of seeing each other, it is concluded with the impossibility of separation. Jose Marti (1835-1895)

I have found the one whom my soul loveth. Songs of Solomon 3:4
Love endures all things, believes all things, hopes all things. Love never fails. Corinthians
The best and most beautiful things in the world can not be seen or even touched. They must be felt.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love, Let it be a moving sea of love between the shores of your souls, Give your hearts… And stand together, yet not too near together, For the pillars of the temple stand apart and the Oak tree and the Cypress grow not in each others shadow. From The Prophet by Gibran
Two lives, two hearts, joined together in friendship, united forever in love.
Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one.
The path that leads to love is so narrow that two can not walk on it, unless they become one.
How beautiful is the day that is touched by love.
Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres,… and now these three remain; Faith, Hope and Love, but the greatest of these is Love…
Love is...To melt and be like a running brook that sings it’s melody to the night.

With an endless love
We’ll share our thoughts,
Our dreams, ourselves
This day
I will marry my friend,
The one I laugh with, live for,
Dream with, love.
The miracle of love is
That love is given to us
To give to one another…
Two hearts that beat as one.
One Love to last a lifetime!
And on this day,
Two shall become one.
How beautiful is the day
That is touched by Love.
To have and to hold,
From this day forward.
This day our hearts
are joined as one.
A time for love,
A time for us.
I took his hand
To have and to hold
Our hearts embraced
And never let go.
Yesterday…
we dreamed of what might be
Today…
we validate our love
And tomorrow…
we will cherish the life we have
Shared as one.
…and above all things is Love. -Corinthians
