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!
One date. Told roommate: “Met husband.”
Seventeen years later, I still do.
Took a chance. Love still exists
Happy Anniversary! I wish you two many, many more. 🙂
He’s my favorite song. On repeat.
(Today is our 8th, too!) Congrats!
Aw, Jen – I love yours!
He persisted, I caved, 36 years!
32 years old. Where is he???
…here’s hoping (fingers crossed he’s out there somewhere)
Happy eight, hope you have 80 more!
Happy Anniversary!!!! What a neat idea. Ours is … love of my life from day one. <3
Ohhh, now I can't stop thinking of others. 🙂
First kiss- knew-50 years together
opposites attract. Now happily ever after.
I asked my husband to participate. He said “too much love for six words.” Ha! He’s a goof! lol
Hired the landscaper…love was planted!
High school young love = strong love.
(We’ll be married 14 years this September. Been together 17 years, 3 kids later we know we couldn’t have lasted without God – a cord of three strands is not easily broken. Happy Anniversary!)
makes me laugh every stinkin’ day
First love, last love, forever love.
(Actually wrote a song with those lyrics for our wedding reception!)
Widowed. Best Man divorced. Second chances.
or
Second chance, never taken for granted.
Two countries, two languages, 16 years!
Happy anniversary to you! May God grant the desires of your hearts!
Still the One, after 34 years.
Still the One by Orleans has been “our song” for over 34 years 🙂
Happy Anniversary ~ enjoy.
A shared birthday, 21 blissful years!
My hubbies – “Orlando. ElectricSlide. Zoey. Forever Plus Three.”
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.
Thanks for posting this… I’ve had such fun with it today. Happy Anniversary to you and Kevin!! 🙂
high school lab partners – good chemistry
Love is stronger today than ever!
Wedding cake brought us our own.
Married 16 years together 19. I was serving cake at a wedding when he kept comming back for more. 🙂 Funny thing he doesn’t even like it.
Happy Anniversary you 2!!
30 years and love still grows!
Celebrated 30 years together this June 19th.. my how time flies when you’re having fun..
P.S. The wine country is beautiful.
Happy 8th anniversary to you.. 🙂
I love this idea so much! I couldn’t stop at one…
Steadfast boy tames girl’s wild heart.
He pursued. I ran, then relented.
In his arms I find home.
Writing this out made me realize how my favorite parts of our love story mirror God’s pursuit of my restless heart. Happy anniversary to you!
MY BEST FRIEND FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
28 years and still in love.
Hubby and I just celebrated our 8th anniversary on June 12th! We are a blended family. Here is my 6 word love poem:
You.
Me.
Four Kids.
Completely Complete.
Workplace romance. Parenthood. Happily ever after.
or
Persevere through all of life’s struggles.
Stole my shoe. Stole my heart.
(He sat in front of my in a college history class, I barely knew him. I was dressed up for some reason and while legs were crossed one dress slide slipped off my foot, he reached down and grabbed it and kept it til the end of class as I’m nudging and trying to whisper to give it back… he said when he gave it back that I’d never forget it or him… it was true!)
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

That was our verse throughout our relationship and had that song sung at our wedding. (and I wrote a 3rd verse to it that fit our lives). 🙂

Insane idea. But might still work.
Happy anniversary, you guys! We celebrate our seventh this summer. (And I am BOWLED OVER by the 30+ and 60+ I’m seeing here. Maybe when – if – we get that far, it won’t seem like my sanity is hanging on by a thread.)
Have a wonderful 8th Anniversary!
