Congratulations to Johan and Madelene. They got married in November at the beautiful Nantes Estate. Madelene is our first "Bride of the Month" for 2013! She looked absolutely amazing in her Crystals and Creme Tulip Dress.

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” 
― Dr. Seuss

“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.” 
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“we accept the love we think we deserve.” 
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” 
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough..” 
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.” 
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

“Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you.” 
― Sarah Dessen, This Lullaby
