“my real Mr. Right loves me so much, he can read my heart.”

“Always and forever, sunshine. Even after we’re up there in the sky partying with your parents.”

I fell in love with you the way night takes over day, without warning, wholly and completely.

“Thank you.”

“For what?”

“Being there to push me back up to the sky.”

It kills me knowing she felt like a falling star again, and I realize that’s how I felt without her, too. Lost and far too alone.

I love you, sunshine, and I will never stop trying to be everything you want and need.

Don’t you get it? You already are.

It’s stupid list.

It’s not stupid. I’ve poured my heart into list and lived by it for years. Not taking it seriously now is like going to ice cream shop wanting 3-scoop sundae w/hot fudge & butterscotch and all toppings, and guy behind counter hands you plain vanilla cone.”

I made a new list, and it wasn’t for a stupid ice cream sundae. It was for the whole damn ice cream shop.

“She loves both of us. I know she does. I don’t care what her stupid checklist says. She made it before she met us.”

Love is arguing and compromising and coming to decisions that are best for both of you.

when you hit those rocky roads, which you will, find the strength and patience to watch this video together. Hopefully it’ll be enough of a reminder to practice that same patience with each other.

love isn’t always loud. It can be, but more often than not, it’s smaller, quieter things that create unbreakable bond. Like doing things your partner loves, even if you think they’re silly, and being there for them when they need you, and even when they don’t. It’s always, without fail, having their back, which means supporting their dreams and telling them when they have spinach in their teeth.

marriage is hard, and there will be times when you try each other’s patience and have trouble remembering why you made your vows.
