Sharing my joy

[HalfMissing]

I wanted to share my hope and happiness with everyone here. I don't know if anyone remembers me but I used to post in the MLC forum. I am divorced and have moved on. I am about to be married in a few weeks to a wonderful man. We have been dating for over two years, got engaged in September, bought a new home together, and are merging our families. Today I am trying to finalize the readings for our wedding ceremony and came across one quote that I thought was very inspirational. Does anyone have any favorite quotes that you would recommend for wedding readings?

Roses
Its madness to hate all roses because you got scratched with one thorn..
To give up on your dreams because one didn’t come true...
To lose faith in prayers because one was not answered...
To give up on your efforts because one of them failed…
To condemn all of your friends because one betrayed you…
To not believe in love because someone was unfaithful or didn’t love you back…
To throw away all of your chances to be happy because you did not succeed on the first attempt.

A new friend, a new love, a new life… never give up because life is indeed beautiful.
