there is something so magical about a wedding dress. the way it transforms a woman into a beautiful, regal, and timeless state. i think some of my favorite images of brides are simply in their dress, waiting, watching, wishing, understanding the immense beauty and power of what is about to take place. the beauty that is seeing someone for all that they are and showing them all that you are and giving and choosing to be with them. not because you think they are the only one in the world for you or because of true love, but simply because you choose them. something in their soul stirs yours. and you know that will always bring you back to them. to their smile, their kiss, their touch, their heart.
love is not love which alters when it alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove.
oh no! it is an ever fixed mark, that looks on tempests and is not shaken.
i believe with all my heart that love is a choice, and that you should go into it knowing that you make that decision every day. you should go into it knowing that they are not here to bend to your every whim, do things the way you like or grew up with, or always make you happy. you should go into love knowing that they are a person. that they breathe and feel and love. i think it is the most beautiful choice we have, to love. and an even greater one to love in return. may you always be growing and learning in your love, changing together, wanting together, loving together. and kiss often. real kisses, not just the "our lips touched" kiss. it is the little things that hold you together or tear you apart.
love,
m
