Wedding Favorite love quote for invites??

[Amandine]

We are making our invitations ourselves (well, more likely I am making them

). There are several pages to them, and I wanted the front page to have a simple, short love quote on it.

For example: "Love is no assignment for cowards" -Ovid

Can be longer then that, or even a Bible verse. I have been trolling the quote sites online, but haven''t found one yet that has struck a chord.

Thanks!

 

[Amandine]

Oh, wouldn''t mind using a short poem instead!

 

[Selkie]

Here's a few:

For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. -Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward in the same direction. -Antoine de Saint-Exupery

My bounty is as deep as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
-- William Shakespeare

“I can live without money, but I cannot live without love.” -Judy Garland

 

[Amandine]

Oooo...I like the Shakespeare. We were both theatre majors in college, so it means a little more to us. Thanks, Selkie!

 

[Courtneylub]

Ours says "I''ll vow to love you as long as rivers run to the sea."

 

[Sabine]

2 of my favorites:

“True love cannot be found where it truly doesn''t exist, nor can it be hidden where it truly does.”

“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.”

 

[scarlet16]

We used "On this day, I marry my best friend, the one I dream with, live for, laugh with, love."

Selkie, I love those Saint-Ex quotes, he really had some great ones we are looking at from The Little Prince. I really love the second one you posted, thinking of working that into my vows....

I also love this excerpt from The Velveteen Rabbit....might be a little long for invites though.

"Real isn''t how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It''s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real." "Does it hurt?" asked the rabbit. "Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don''t mind being hurt." "Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" "It doesn''t happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That''s why it doesn''t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don''t matter at all, because once you are Real you can''t be ugly, except to people who don''t understand."

I got an invite from a cousin and they had a love quote from a led zepplin song. Pretty Cool.
