Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixéd mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose Worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come;

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom:

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

~William Shakespeare~

"Wedded love is founded on esteem."
- Elijah Fenton

"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Genesis 2:24

My dear friend Julia was married to a truly wonderful man last Friday evening. It was a beautiful wedding....I'm so thankful I know her...and Lee....They're the kind of people that make the world go 'round for me. Their example of true love, commitment and dedication to God encourages me every day. I love them both so much. :)
