the seven year itch

this week marks our seventh anniversary. fortunately, while going through old books and notebooks to pack last week i found my notes from a shakespeare class taken in college. next to sonnet numbet 116 was this note: "i love this sonnet. i want it recited at my wedding day." it even had little scribbles and asterisks next to it. we married 7 months later, but never did remember to have it read.

well, better late than never:

LET me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,	5
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love ’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;	10
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error, and upon me prov’d,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov’d.

William Shakespeare: Sonnet CXVI.

i'm happy to say that i still feel that way today, and even more so.

i love my husband, and i love our marriage.

cheesy post has now ended.
