be the one in white!”

groom always smiles proudly because he's convinced he's accomplished something
quite wonderful. The bride smiles because she's been able to convince him of
it.”

“Plutarch
rushes to reassure me. "Oh, no, Katniss. Not your wedding. Finnick and
Annie's. All you need to do is show up and pretend to be happy for them."
"That's
one of the few things I won't have to pretend, Plutarch," I tell him.”

“Two
Trees
A
portion of your soul has been
entwined
with mine
A
gentle kind of togetherness, while
separately
we stand.
As
two trees deeply rooted in
separate
plots of ground,
While
their topmost branches
come
together,
Forming
a miracle of lace
against
the heavens.”

“Like
a child who saves their favourite food on the plate for last, I try to save all

my tongue.”

“My
last night as Isabella Swan. Tomorrow night, I would be Bella Cullen. Though
the whole marriage ordeal was a thorn in my side, I had to admit that I liked
the sound of that.

“Laurel:
I don't need a ring or a license, or a spetacular white dress. It's not
marriage so much, or at all really, that matters. It's the promise. It's the
knowing someone wants me to be part of his life. Someone loves me, that I'm the
one for him. That's not just enough, it's everything.”

Nora Roberts, Savor the Moment
“Dad,
Please
accept this money to fix the broken window. I’m sure it’s already fixed,
considering Lydia’s house pride and her phobia about unconditioned air, but
Dear
Al,
I
can’t begin to explain my actions at Lydia’s – I mean yours and Lydia’s house.
When I get to Charleston, I never imagined that you would have
Dear
Dad and Lydia,
I
apologize to both of you for my irrational behavior. I know it’s all my fault,
but if you would have listened to ONE THING I had to say, I might not have
Dear
Dad’s new family,
I
hope you’ll all be very happy being blond together. May people speak only in
inside voices for the rest of your lives.
P.S.
Lydia, you wedding dress makes your arms look fat.”

“As
a matter of fact, she has refused to marry me.”

when's the wedding?” Ramsey asked.”

Julie Garwood, Ransom
“Can
we get on with this?" Father Laggan cried out. "In the name of the
Father…"
"I'm
inviting my aunt Millicent and uncle Herbert to come for a visit, Iain, and I'm
not going through the council to get permission first."
"…
and of the Son," the priest continued in a much louder voice.
"She'll
be wanting King John next," Duncan predicted.
"We
can't allow that, lass," Owen muttered.
"Please
join hands now and concentrate on this ceremony," Father Laggan shouted,
trying to gain everyone's attention.
"I
don't want King John to come here," Judith argued. She turned to frown at
Owen for making such a shameful suggestion. "I want my aunt and uncle. I'm
getting them, too." She turned and had to peek around Graham in order to
look up at Iain. "Yes or no, Iain."
"We'll
see. Graham, I'm marrying Judith, not you. Let go of her hand. Judith, move
over here."
Father
Laggan gave up trying to maintain order. He continued on with the ceremony.
Iain was paying some attention. He immediately agreed to take Judith for his
wife.She wasn't as cooperative. He felt a little sorry for the sweet woman. She
looked thoroughly
confused.
"Judith,
do you take Iain for your husband?"
She
looked up at Iain before giving her answer. "We'll see."
"That
won't do, lass. You've got to say I do," he advised.
"Do
I?"
Iain
smiled. "Your aunt and uncle will be welcomed here."
She
smiled back.
....
Judith
tried not to laugh. She turned her attention back to Father Laggan. "I
will say I do,"
she
told him. "Shouldn't we begin now?"
"The
lass has trouble following along," Vincent remarked.
Father
Laggan gave the final blessing while Judith argued with the elder about his
rude comment. Her concentration was just fine, she told him quite vehemently.
She
nagged an apology out of Vincent before giving the priest her attention again.
"Patrick, would you go and get Frances Catherine? I would like her to
stand by my side during the ceremony."
"You
may kiss the bride," Father Laggan announced.”

Julie Garwood, The Secret
“The
funny thing is that although we place so much energy and importance on our
wedding day, it isn't the biggest day of our life. The biggest day of your life
is every day thereafter. Because it's not the pledge to love someone that
matters, but the act of fulfilling that pledge that is most important. In other
words, it's only just begun.”

“Every
bride is beautiful. It’s like newborn babies or puppies. They can’t help it.”

Emme Rollins, Dear Rockstar
“And
down I went to fetch my bride:
But,
Alice, you were ill at ease;
This
dress and that by turns you tried,
Too
fearful that you should not please.
I
loved you better for your fears,
I
knew you could not look but well;
And
dews, that would have fall'n in tears,
I
kiss'd away before they fell.”
―
Alfred Lord Tennyson
“Some
women do not masturbate for pleasure; they masturbate to make a political
statement: to remind us that women do not really need men (or at least not as
much and as frequently as every single male chauvinist and every single
misogynist believes).”
