Divided into four sections based on the distinct seasons of love, Celebrating Love features 150 entries, including: * Spring: "Love that is not madness is not love." --Pedro Calderon de la Barca * Summer: Meeting you was fate. Becoming your friend was a choice. Falling in love with you was beyond my control. Becoming your wife was my fairy tale come true. * Fall: The Geography of Love * The oldest love song in existence, whose origin is from somewhere between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, was written 4,000 years ago. * Nevada issues 120,000 marriage licenses a year. * Winter: I love you, my forgetful wife. Who knew that love not only lasts longer than memory, but that it continues to grow?
