    Six-Word Love Stories

    Our e-friends, Dan Zadra & Kobi Yamada, released a book called “2″ a while back…

    …and since Kev and I are celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary today, I thought it would be fun to blog about something lovey-dovey that Dan and Kobi included in their book. It’s called the six-word love story.

    Here are some examples they included in the book:

    And (because I was completely fascinated by the idea) here are a couple more neat ones I found while surfing around online (waaaay past my bedtime) last night…

    Unbeknownst to my darling hubby (who was fast asleep at our normal bedtime), I spent much of the evening creating as many six-word love stories as I could think of. I plan on driving him borderline crazy with them sharing them with him throughout the day today. The hopeless romantic in me hopes it doesn’t make his brain hurt he finds the whole thing as fascinating and absolutely addicting as I do.

    I’m saving the mushy ones I came up with for Kev, but I thought my fellow house-fixer-uppers would get a kick out of this one that popped into my head at 5:35 am this morning (I immediately rolled over and texted it to myself so I wouldn’t forget it- ha!):

    “Wild houses couldn’t drag me away.”

    This afternoon we’re going out for a meal and a movie, but if you feel like sharing your six-word love story in the comments section here today, I would absolutely LOVE to read through them with my mister tonight!

      First time my hubby was going to utter the “I love you” I told him to dig me instead, since I was nervous about uttering the ” love” word back. Those 6 words are actually inscribed in our wedding bands, our hearts and reminders throughout our home ( check out my ” I will dig you always ‘ post.)

      My husband and I always joke about who made the first move for our first kiss. We always use this movie reference from Hitch, so this was the first one I thought of –

      She went 90. He went 10.

      However, his would be the opposite! Ha :)

      High School Sweethearts. I found him again.
      He saved me. I saved him.

      We are 60 yrs old – been together 14 yrs – married 10 in August.
      I have 4 kids, he has 2. 6 grandkids.
      We think that sometimes your first love was the right choice, even though you did not know it at the time.

      Happy Anniversary, Layla and Kevin!

I enjoyed your design section of the photography class and you will laugh, but I put an apple far away on a shelf to draw the eye to the end of the room today when I taking pictures. hehe. It looked ridiculous so I got rid of it and laughed at myself :) I was like, “how come Layla’s looked so good?”! :) I’ll try again another day. Thanks for sharing all your info at Haven and hope you guys had a nice day together :)

      We met at a bar in Orlando and I tried teaching him and his friends the “ElectricSlide” (He cheated and said that’s one word for this exercise.) Zoey is our pup. And he always says “Love you forever plus 3 days.”

      Another good one for us: Love you forever plus 3 days.

      Shared a seat, shared a love!!

      We’ve been married 19 years this July, still get butterflies and cannot wait for him to get home. We have one son who is gonna be 16 and one who is 3. Never will forget riding home from school with my cousin in a chevette, yes she had a chevette but it was wheels, he was the brother of her boyfriend, and instead of sitting in the back he said just sit up here with me in the front, yeah I know, no seatbelts and that was dangerous but we crammed into the tiny passenger seat of her chevette and the rest is history, I love thinking back on this!!! We were young and so in love, maybe we need to find a chevette somewhere and see if we can recreate this, ha!!!

      Happy anniversary! 8 years is quite an accomplishment these days – so thanks for giving other young couples hope {and for boosting up the sagging national average}. My hubby and I have 20 wonderful years to God’s credit, not ours. Especially considering that one of our first ‘dates’ was in a cemetery!

      Hard to choose just 6 words!

      Helpmate to Patrick by God’s design.

      Eyes met. Future set. No regrets.

      19 years on July 14. Been through a lot. Health issues for wife (auto-immune up the wazoo), son (leukemia…16 and still fighting it) and the usual ups/downs of a 12-plus years of remodeling and restructuring our house…almost there (of course, now the “old stuff” needs a new look…we keep saying that we didn’t buy a house we bought projects!).
      Take care Kev & Layla. Congrats on 8 years and growing!

      Glad I went to the game.

      Love found us so very unexpectedly.

      Love him with my whole heart.

      Fatherhood made him even more attractive.

      In love with my best friend.

      I’d do it all over again.

      It is all totally worth it.

      Finally! Impressively, he fell for me.
      —————————————————————————-

      We dated a long time before my hubby proposed to me. One day he invited me to go cross-country skiing and to have a picnic lunch. On our first (icy) downhill he fell so, of course, he had to try again to impress me. The second time he fell again, but this time he tore all the ligaments in one knee. I tended to him for several hours while we waited in a hut for Search and Rescue to come. To keep warm, he was laying in front of a fire with a knit cap and a scarf around his neck in a mummy sleeping bag. As this big caterpillar of a man, asked me to marry him, I surprised myself with how calmly I said yes after waiting so many years.

      My first love was true love.

      I will love him wholly, indefinitely.

      Star-crossed hoping for fairytale ending.

      Two years ago I left my miserable, abusive marriage and almost instantly my first love reached out to me not knowing what I was going through. He, too, was in a bad place in his marriage and felt a need to reconnect since we were more than just lovers, we were the very best of friends. He apparently has been living miserably without an outlet or sounding board for his feelings because he does not trust anyone other than me to take these kinds of feelings to. He’s afraid of disappointing someone by admitting he’s not blissfully happy.

      As of right now, I’m still single and he’s still married. I told him I wouldn’t ask him to choose because that would be unfair to all 3 of us. I’m no home-wrecker and she deserves to have him focus on their relationship exhausting all options at making it work if it can. I told him that he has to come to a decision on his own but that it would be equally unfair of him to ask me to wait when he feels obligated to stay indefinitely. He understood but his response was, “I will be with you again someday. Even if we’re 85 and in a nursing home. I will be with you.”

      Love this post – a while ago my husband and I were watching a show where someone said you should be able to sum up your love in 7 words or less. My husband chuckled and said “as if.” I turned to him and said “Blue skies with pink clouds at sunset.” He knew the exact moment I was speaking of, smiled and said he stood corrected.
