I had good intentions to write a blog post last week, but procrastination got the best of me. I write blog posts from my laptop, however, my laptop is having issues. It’s overheating again since the fan no longer works. I tried getting it fixed but the computer experts refused to fix it. Instead, they kept insisting that nothing is wrong with my laptop. I cannot for the life of me write blog posts from my iPhone. I do not understand how bloggers can write and edit blog posts from their smart phones. How does the tiny phone screen not annoy you? It’s very difficult to edit from a phone screen that is not much bigger than a deck of cards. Okay, two decks of cards but you get the point. 👩💻
As a continuation from my previous blog post titled, “My Favorite Quotes: Tea Time,” I want to share some of my favourite love and marriage quotes with you. There’s a bunch of em’ and I personally don’t have a favourite quote! Similar to the tea quotes, I wanted a safe place to keep these quotes because #memories but didn’t want to keep the original document. It’s only logical to write a blog post about my favourite love and marriage quotes, right? 👰🤵 Some of you may know (or don’t know) that I married my husband in May 2016 and we have been inseparable since January 2013! ❤
A rare photo of me on my wedding day. Photo taken May 7, 2016

Did any of these quotes resonate with you? I am curious to know which of these love/marriage quotes is your favourite. It does not have to be one from my list. Also, do you believe in true love? What about love at first sight? Are you married or do you plan to get married one day? Feel free to join the conversation by leaving a comment below ↓ I will try my best to respond to your comments this week.
Thanks for stopping by!
To each their own, dear🌸❤️ I prefer to write on my web browser on my iPad or Phone. The size actually helps with swiftness.
Love the picture ❤️❤️ Such Love!
Hi Nova! Do you use a separate keyboard to write? I usually have to edit a blog post 5-6 times before publishing. Spacing paragraphs surprisingly works better on an iPhone than a laptop I find.
Yes, to each their own! Love that saying because it’s so true 😊🌺
I don’t use a separate keyboard. I do use the swiftkey keyboard in my phone though.
That Elizabeth Barrett Browning sonnet is so beautiful.
Such a cute picture of you and your husband!
Thank you so much, Ashley!😊💕It’s one of the rare photos of me. Tbh I’m the type who avoids photos as much as possible. Yes, I love that quote too! ♥️
It’s a shame I can’t stop by and fix it for you, lol. It’s probably simple! Do you know for certain it’s not working? If so, you can usually find replacement ones on a site like newegg.com and they’re actually pretty easy to install as long as you know the model of your laptop. I had a similar thing happen with my last laptop but ended up just tossing it because it was a cascading series of failures that pretty much signified the end of its life.
I can’t write on my phone either. Sometimes I can manage a comment or reply on my phone, but rarely. I don’t think we’ll ever see a day where devices the size of phones replace full sized keyboards… unless a revolutionary new way of writing words is developed.
I’ve taken the laptop to a couple of places and they keep insisting that there is no point trying to fix the fan. Also, my laptop doesn’t go to sleep; instead, it shuts off. Otherwise, my laptop still works but it’s very concerning when it overheats. I feel as if it could burst into flames b/c it gets really hot. 🔥
I think that longer blog posts do not fare well with smart phones. I can leave comments from my phone but I’m gonna pass on writing full blog posts from my phone lol Considering that newer phone models no longer have a headphone jack, I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually replace full sized keyboards one day. Thank you for your words of wisdom and advice! 😀😊
I’d be interested in knowing what they would consider “no point” in replacing a $4 component but I digress lol. You could try one of those lap-fans. They’re plastic trays that sit in your lap (or on your desk) that plug into a USB port and have a big fan on them. That’s what I used when mine died.
I think we have one of those plastic trays. My fan doesn’t work at all…. it won’t turn on. It gets overheated and there’s no way to really cool it down. I’ve even tried blowing a cold fan at it lol yeah… I might need to invest in a tray that comes equipped with a fan!
My parents were together for 71 years and I loved the quote of duet and solo dance 💃🏻 💖
Such a beautiful pic Hilary 💕
Wow, 71 years! That’s incredible 🤭😯 I will try to aim for this goal lol It’s lovely seeing couples who have been married for many, many years. Now that’s what call love and commitment! 🥰
Thank you, Ashok. It’s rare for me to upload photos of myself. I used the same image in the “About Me” section of this blog.
Two of my older sisters have already celebrated their golden anniversaries- 52 and 57 years 😻🎉
God willing you shall have a long and fulfilling married life.
Stay happy. Stay loved 💖
Wow, that’s amazing! ♥️These are goals that I hope to achieve one day. I feel like a happy marriage is a rare thing these days and that marriage should not be taken for granted.🙏🏻💕
Happiness is simply a decision Hilary. All the very best 😊🌹🤗
Agreed! 😊💕
I love the threads quote.
Indeed, it’s a really good quote.🙂Thank you so much for reading and commenting. Hope you are having a good day, Eliza! 😊🌺
Hot but okay so far
It’s a very hot day here as well ☀️
You and your husband are so cute together! I really enjoyed the quotes even though I am not married or in a relationship at the moment. I do believe in love and I believe to an extent in love at first sight.
Thank you for your kind words, Pooja! Have you been in a previous relationship? I didn’t go on dates or find a boyfriend until I was 21. People often seem surprised that I am married, but I tell them that it’s better to wait to find the right person, even if it takes a while ❤
You’re welcome! Yes I have been in some relationships but I agree with you- waiting for the right person is better and that’s why I want to take a break from relationships for a while.
Thank you for answering my question, Pooja 😇 I think you are making a good decision waiting to find the right person. These days, there is so much pressure to be with someone for the sake of being with someone, even if they aren’t the right one. However, there’s nothing wrong with being single – I think it’s necessary for personal growth and deep reflections 🙏🏻💕
Thanks! I totally agree- there is so much pressure to be in a relationship but I would rather be single till I find someone I really want to be with.
That’s a good way to look at things. I can only speak from personal experience but I don’t regret being single. By the time I found my [now] husband, I knew exactly what kind of relationship I wanted. Before meeting him, I went on a couple of dates with other guys but knew they weren’t right for me. I didn’t stay in those relationships very long. It’s OK to be picky and know what you want. 🙏🏻💕
Yeah most of my relationships have been quite short too because I know what I’m looking for and I feel like there is no point staying with someone who isn’t right for you. I’m so glad you found the person you were looking for and I hope I do someday too!
That’s such a great photo! You guys are so cute.
I love all of these quotes. It’s hard to pick a favorite.
My husband and I met in highschool but it took us many years and separate lives to “meet” each other again. Now we’ve been married since 2003. 🙂
Thank you so much, Michelle! It’s one of the rare photos of me that I actually kinda like 😅
Aww, that’s such a cute love story! ♥️ Your story is similar to my parents’. They were classmates in grade 2/3 split class (or was it grade 1/2 split?) and weren’t friends as kids. They met up again, many years later and have been married for 37 years. Congratulations on being married for 17 years (I think?) That’s incredible! 😊💕
What a sweet story!! And thank you! ❤️
♥️♥️♥️
Aww this is way too sweet and I’m so glad you found your “someone”! I hope mine becomes the husband soon haha. I can’t blog on my phone either 🙁 What’s your current alternative to the lap top?
I hope that your SO becomes your soon-to-be husband! ❤ I would suggest getting married after the pandemic calms down and things are “normal” again. I heard that people are having weddings over Zoom, which I could not do honestly.
Hmm…. an alternative to the laptop? A desktop computer? Ours is super slow and it drives me crazy so I don’t use it 👩💻 I also have an iPad mini but it’s just as annoying to use as my phone! 😂
Loved the quotes, a beautiful photo. This is filled with so much love, it’s a soothing and inspiring post.
Thank you so much! ❤ I’m really happy that you liked the quotes and enjoyed reading this blog post. Yep, it’s a rare photo of me! Crazy that this photo was taken 4 years ago!
Crazy and beautiful. You give us hope that love exists.
🙏❤❤
These are beautiful! And I love the picture of the both of you together, sweet!
Thank you for your kind words, Saania! It’s one of the rare photos of me. I hardly ever upload photos of myself 🌺
Such a beautiful couple 💕
I feel that my marriage resonate with: A long marriage is two people trying to dance a duet and two solos at the same time 😊
Because we are united, we are best friends but we also must remember that we are also individual persons at the same time 😉
Thank you, Ribana! Idk how I managed to forget to reply to everyone’s comments on this blog post. Just spent the last hour sorting through all of the 2019 blog posts, and I am currently on the 2020 blog posts. This is something that I have been putting off for quite some time.
Can you believe that May 7, 2022, will be my 6th anniversary?! There’s a lot of truth to these quotes. 🙂
Lovely quotes there.
May you have many more years together. 🙂
Thank you, Liz! I’m glad that you like these quotes ❤ That is the ultimate goal for sure 🥰
Lovely quotes and lovely photo 🙂 x
I must be the worst blogger ever because it looks like I forgot to reply to everyone’s comments. 🤦♀️ Maybe I was really busy with school or something and didn’t have time to reply….. thank you for your kind words, Jenny. Next month will be my 6-year anniversary which is crazy!
These are some lovely quotes! I prefer to write blog posts in a notebook (have a hard copy) then type on my laptop. Thank you for sharing.

I apologize for not replying sooner. I seem to have forgotten to reply to everyone’s comments on this particular blog post. Your notebooks are so pretty btw and I get a lot of inspiration from your blog posts, Lauren. 😄
I just wanted to let you know that I think you have a beautiful blog and are a beautiful person inside and out and that’s why I have nominated you for the Beautiful Blogger Award. I would love if you accept the nomination but I understand if you don’t. https://lifesfinewhine.com/2020/08/16/beautiful-blogger-award/
Wow! Love all the lovely quotes 😍 Beautiful pics! You two are adorable 😊
These are some lovely quotes! I hope I can relate to some of them when i get married!
Bunch of good quotes…
Thank you! I’m glad you like them! 😊
You are such a beautiful bride, both of your happiness just shone so brightly!
I believe in soulmates. I found mine in 2012, did a 2 year long distance, closed the gap in 2015 and tighten the gap with a kid in 2017.
That’s beautiful ♥️ Wow, long distance! Long distance must have been tough, but I really think it’s true love when it works out in the end! I’m happy that yours had a happy ending 😊💕
Great selection of quotes. I recently wrote a blog article about marriage. The institution of marriage has evolved over the year. In the beginning, it was purely designed to promote the survival and economic prosperity of both families. During the Victorian era, romantic love became viewed as the primary requirement for marriage and couples spent a huge amount of time and energy in the rituals of courting and finding romantic ways to express their love, affection, and loyalty to their chosen ones. In this modern era, the institution of marriage is evolving into a third stage, also known as the self-expressive marriage. Nowadays, marriage revolves around self-expression, we seek not just love but mutual personal growth. We want partners who are able and willing to help us explore our feelings and our identity, partners who can help us bring out our most authentic selves.

Very touching quotes, and so true about forgiveness 💖💖💖
