Love is Cool

We would love it if you would leave your six word comments.

WE want to use them in the wedding.


The ultimate saving grace for those of us who clam up when it comes to writing our wedding vows, Six-Word Memoirs on Love and Heartbreak sums it up in a second. "Six-Word Memoirs on Love & Heartbreak contains hundreds of personal stories about the pinnacles and pitfalls of romance. Brilliant in their brevity, these insightful slivers capture every shade of love and loss—six words at a time."

Here are a few Six Word Memoirs from the book.

Don't trust a man who waxes.
—Noelle Hancock

We belly laugh every single day.
—Michelle Ottey

Will government ever let us marry?
—Vicki Marsh

Silently suffered his facial hair experiments.
—Elizabeth Minkel

He still needs me at sixty-four.
—Armistead Maupin

Moved in. No ring. Moved out.

It never hurt as good again.
—Marc Ecko

Let's finish this emoting session with a few good quotes.

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
"Pooh!" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you."



"It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?'"

"If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you."


“Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them.”



~ A.A. Milne

Last bit of food for thought...

South Of The Mason-Dixion

It was a TOUGH decision, let me tell you. We went back and forth on it a million times. Boutique hotel, modern, or old south. Downtown or Isle of Palms? Brad had a shazaaam..." angels singing" moment when he discovered ALOFT. I called Leah, IMMEDIATELY.
Leah: in that soft way ladies talk south of the Mason -Dixon. Lynn, honey... yes we HAVE seen this hotel. It is just around the corner from the Outlets. Yes, it is near airport but it is not near downtown OR the water..meaning no view...(very important in Charleston)
Husband Shane:Hotel? I thought that place was an alternative lifestyle club ...?

Lynn: Hallelujah. Say no more. I am sold.

(No-it isn't a club......)

Aloft
