On this day, nineteen years ago, my favorite Philosopher and I said, "I do". December 16 is also a literary milestone. It marks the birthday of a favorite authoress of mine--Jane Austen. I should add that this momentous occasion took place 220 years prior to our delightful recessional stroll to the "Prince of Denmark's March". Thus, to commemorate both anniversaries, I offer a quote or two of Austenian origin that are ever-so-fitting.
"Perhaps it is our imperfections that make us so perfect for one another."
~Emma
"I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong."
~ Northanger Abbey

"I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It was too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun..." |
