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!
Opposites attract..boy do they ever!
9 years and more in love with each passing day!
Married young. Grew together. 62 years.
Two widowed Geminis-one shared path.
Happy anniversary! Hope you spend the day in loveliness.Enjoy!
Our second anniversary is coming up in August and we are off to Crater Lake to see the milky way w/our new telescope.
Love is an amazing gift, isn’t it?
I came up with two:
Broke all his rules. Pure love.
Engaged on mountain. Married on beach.
Happy anniversary to you guys! The Six-word Love Story is an awesome idea!
10 years, 3 kids, and lots of “for better or worse” later and these are the only six words I can think of right now: I would do it all again!
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 🙂
MANY SMILES, FEW TEARS, 18 YEARS
Happy Anniversary to you both!!
“25-year reunion…talked…now married”

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!
sorry – first one was 7 words! 🙂
Happy Anniversary! What a cool book and idea with the 6 word love story:) So nice meeting you at Haven. 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 🙂
Puts the luck in my luck
