Nothing de-cheeses romantic books like a plastic dinosaur. Photograph by Leah Renee Photography
Like many an offbeat bride before me, when I got engaged I began a long and agitating search for love quotes that did not make me throw up in my mouth. I searched many websites, bought quote books, and compiled lists of quotes I sort of liked. I found loads of them. Boatloads. Metric fuckloads. But some I had read so many times on so many websites that I couldn't muster up any enthusiasm for them at all. Like the one about "gazing at the stars in the same direction" — it's very pretty, it's cute, but it didn't hit the romantic sweet spot for me.
So, I culled my quotes file and nailed down fifty-two bad-ass quotes that I adore and that I'm sharing with you now. I used most of these on our wedding favors. A few of these are old favorites of Offbeat Bride, but a lot of them I've never seen on a wedding site. So enjoy and begin compiling and culling your own metric fuckload of quotes!
