C and I have been married for twelve years already, and yet... he can still make me laugh - a lot, he (and his wallet) is still the best shopping partner, still the best person to share great late-night conversations with, still my favorite person to call to mix the meanest cup of hot double-choco.
It's not to say that we did not have our share of problems, for we have had a few. Yes, there were quite a few! But somehow, we've always managed to overcome... we've always had hope... "May God, the source of hope, fill you with joy and peace through your faith in him. Then you will overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13)
Here are some of my favorite photos of the both of us taken through the past years. We don't have a lot of the both of us together since I am mostly behind the camera, but here are a few that I treasure...
"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times,
and always with the same person."

For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it.
For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it. "

"Chains do not hold a marriage together.
It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years."

"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm;
for
love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It
burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame."
