WEDDING POEM ❋ Carrie Bradshaw
His hello was the end of her endings , Her laugh was their first step down the aisle . His hand would be hers to hold forever , His forever was as simple as her smile .
An ocean couldn ’ t prevent it . A New York minute wouldn ’ t let it pass . Does the universe decide for us , Which love will fade and which will last .
He said she was what was missing . She said she instantly knew . She was a question to be answered . And his answer was “ I do .”
CAPTAIN CORELLI ’ S MANDOLIN ❋ ▼ Louis de Bernieres
Love is a temporary madness , it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides . And when it subsides you have to make a decision . You have to work out whether your root was so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part . Because this is what love is .
Love is not breathlessness , it is not excitement , it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion . That is just being in love , which any fool can do . Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away , and this is both an art and a fortunate accident .
Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground , and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches , they find that they are one tree and not two .
