(The photo above is us 5 years ago. Photo Credit: Banga Photography) We will be celebrating tonight and being in a romantic mood, I thought I would put together a collection of quotes about love and marriage. Hope you enjoy this heartwarming tribute to wedded bliss!   A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year. Paul Sweeney   Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads, which sew people together through the years. Simone Signoret   There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage. Martin Luther   Yes, it was love at first sight. I feel that after all these years, I have finally found my soul mate. Barbara Hershey   A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. Mignon McLaughlin   An anniversary is a reminder as to why you love and married this person. Zoe Foster Blake   I love being my husband’s wife. Julianna Margulies   In terms of my marriage, you know, falling in love with my husband was by far the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Caroline Kennedy   Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse, hopefully enduring, and intimate to the degree of being sacred. William O. Douglas I love my wife, she deserves anything and everything. Aaron Spelling   Love is not weakness. It is strong. Only the sacrament of marriage can contain it. Boris Pasternak Feeling the love? There’s more… We concentrate so much on anniversaries and birthdays that you forget it’s the Tuesday that’s tough that really counts. Sometimes she just needs some flowers or even just that ear. It’s the little things that count. It’s the regular days of the year that you have to keep your attention on her. BJ the Chicago Kid Next month, I will celebrate my 30th anniversary of marriage with my beautiful bride, Vicki. Our marriage has been a blessing. I have gained even more respect for the institution over the past 3 decades and will defend it against attack. Todd Tiahrt   That there’s no more important decision in life than who you marry. Brad Paisley   My husband and I went to Bald Head Island for our four-year anniversary. We spent the night in bed with champagne, tequila and Krispy Kreme doughnuts and watched a boxing match on Showtime. Teri Polo   The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds – they mature slowly. Peter De Vries My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me. Winston Churchill   Marriage is not a noun; it’s a verb. It isn’t something you get. It’s something you do. It’s the way you love your partner every day. Barbara De Angelis   Don’t marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can’t live without. James Dobson   There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends. Homer
