In my friend’s recent blog she had the following quote which i think is perfectly romantic and wonderful:
I will have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love. Love above all. No… not the artful postures of love, not playful and poetical games of love for the amusement of an evening, but love that… over-throws life. Unbiddable, ungovernable – like a riot in the heart, and nothing to be done, come ruin or rapture. – Shakespeare in love
And since I am getting married I am all sappy and romantic. But I will say this: Love is about more than flirtation with fate, it is about more than the initial fantasies and the beginning stages of relationship where all stories are new and all of time seems to fly by. It is about sustainability and peace and above all a feeling of home. It is this feeling of centeredness, this feeling of unshakable grounding, of being where you belong – that will be a riot in the heart. Unbiddable, ungovernable and unpredictable at the best of times. But worth every exhausting second of it for that feeling of home. That feeling of home in a person is what I need, which is why I am marrying him in six days. Come ruin or rapture.
