"Meg had spent the time in working as well as waiting, growing womanly in character, wise in the housewifely arts, and prettier than ever, for love is a great beautifier." (Little Women, Louisa May Alcott)

"It was not until she was standing in the vestry, smilingly watching the best man (Ralph Pent-Hartigan) kiss the bride, that Flora felt an unusual sensation in the palm of her right-hand glove. She looked down at it, and saw to her surprise and amusement that it was split right across. She realized then that she had been extremely nervous lest anything go wrong. But nothing had; and now she was extremely happy." (Cold Comfort Farm, Stella Gibbons)

"Only the margin left to write on now. I love you, I love you, I love you." (I Capture The Castle, Dodie Smith)

The wedding was beautiful. Best wishes, Emily, and congratulations, Joshua.
