| craig & me on our wedding day - taken by m2 photography |
i give you my heart, fully open.
no strings attached -
unfettered and unencumbered,
vulnerable and fully surrendering.
i give you my heart, willingly.
no expectations –
free of walls or rigidity,
boundless and endless.
i give you my heart, my love.
nothing held back –
all things for you,
all thoughts of you.
my heart is yours.
(one guess who i wrote that for. happy valentine's day, baby!)
happy <3 day, mavens!

xliii. "how do I love thee? let me count the ways..."
by elizabeth barrett browning (1806-1861)
how do I love thee? let me count the ways.
i love thee to the depth and breadth and height
my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
for the ends of being and ideal grace.
i love thee to the level of everyday's
i love thee with a passion put to use
in my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
i love thee with a love i seemed to lose
with my lost saints, --- i love thee with the breath,
smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if god choose,
i shall but love thee better after death.

love story. a true classic. if you haven't seen this film, you need to. i've seen it countless times, and it always gets me. it's romantic. funny. tragic. inspiring. hopeful. tearful. it's a love story and anyone who has been in love or dreams of a great love will fall head over heels for this film. it's timeless.

the movie follows two young harvard students as they begin their life together (i.e. their love story). she's witty and brilliant. he's rich and preppy. they're endlessly crazy about one another. though i don't necessarily agree with (or understand) the movie's most famous quote "love means never having to say you're sorry"... i do completely believe in the idea at the forefront of this great film - best friends make the best (future)husbands, partners, lovers, allies and confidants.
