not a trace of doubt in my mind...i'm in love

Happy Love Thursday, everyone! I so enjoyed visiting all your images and words about love in all its forms last week -- I figure we should make this Love Thursday thing a tradition, don't you? To reiterate how this works:

1. If you have a blog, post a photograph, or a painting, or an image of art, or a story about love on your website today. Remember, it doesn't have to be romantic love -- it can be love of family, love of friends, love of pets, hell, love of a good meal. It can even be a deformed Cheerio that looks surprising like a heart. Seriously, anything -- so long as it brings to mind love.

2. Once you've posted your image or story, feel free to return here to Chookooloonks (or the site of my Love Thursday Partner-In-Crime, Irene Nam) and post the permalink to your post in the comments. And by the way, if you post a photo or other image, please consider adding it to our Love Thursday Flickr Pool. It's a wonderful place to visit and see real evidence that love is, indeed, all around us.

3. If you don't have a blog, don't let that stop you from sharing -- feel free to post your story about love in the comments here.

And that's all there is to it -- a simple way to spread the love!

Now, for my submission:

Photo by the wonderful Mark Robinson. If you're getting married in the UK, get him to shoot your wedding. Really.

The above photo, taken on our wedding day, is my favourite photo ever taken of me. Even though we had already been legally married for two months (and had actually moved to the United States by this time), we still managed to fly back to London and throw ourselves a wonderfully intimate wedding celebration with very close family and friends. We wrote our own vows that we shared in front of this small group, and at the time this was taken, Marcus was saying something funny while taking his turn. I don't think I've ever looked happier. And as coincidence would have it, today is exactly four years since that photograph was taken. Happy second fourth anniversary, Marcus.

And, again, Happy Love Thursday, everyone!

(P.S. Ten points if you can guess which song the title of this post comes from.)

Happy 2nd, Fourth anniversary. What a picture of sheer happiness. I believe the song is "I'm a believer" :)

Then I saw her face; now I'm a believer!
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, and I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
