For Tova....

You know you're getting old when your friend's children start getting married. This is exactly what's happening to me. My friend Karen, has two daughters, Dara and Tova. Karen, Dara and Tova were all in my wedding party 12 years ago. Karen was a bridesmaid, and Dara and Tova were my flower girls. Now twelve years later, Tova is getting married. Oh my, were did that little girl in the blue dress go? She's a grown woman now and planning a wedding of her own!!!

So for Tova's wedding shower we were asked to write a piece of marriage advice on a 3x5 card to be inserted into an album that was presented to her. This is what I did for her album.

I found that these quotes really spoke to me, if you know what I mean. I believe that communication is the key to a successful marriage and I believe that a person is incredibly lucky if they find someone they are able to fall in love with over and over again.

If you can't read the writing on the cards, the quotes are as follows:

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person - Mignon Mclaughlin

Ultimately the bond of all companioship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation - Oscar Wilde

So, the cards are in the mail Karen, I'm sorry I'm late with these, but I really wanted to find something special for Tova.
