where do you like to be held?

For those of you in a relationship, is there a specific way your partner holds you that never fails to make you feel warm & tingly all over? Like you're a teenage girl getting kissed ever-so-gently for the very first time by your highschool crush?

I find a light touch on my knee quite comforting.

A gentle stroking of my fingers quite sweet.

And a tender touch on my side quite endearing.

A firm grasp of my back makes me feel lovingly safe & protected.

And hands clutching my face in a kiss, so romantic.

And finally, noses touching, so real, honest & playful. A warm-and-tingly meant to last forever.

What about you? Where do you like to be held? Is there a special way he holds you that makes you feel even more loved and in love?

rules of a gentleman & one for a lady



So dear Isabella...

Because when you're ready, you will fall for a gentleman. And because...

He will...

endearing gestures of love

This photo booth proposal is harder to accomplish than you think. Pete needed to get the order of the letters right. It wasn't as easy as spelling out the words. The first photo booth set needed to spell W - Y - M - M. And he needed to grab the right letter in the milliseconds between each shot. 

This prenup photo of an engaged couple holding up their parents' wedding photos is also so charming. 

I like the idea of a newly-married couple taking a quiet walk by themselves after their wedding.

And finally, a marriage that lasts. Grandpa's hand over grandma's. In a church. Maybe the church they got married in? What could be more endearing than that?

Have a love-filled Sunday!
