So I am trying to decide on ring inscriptions. After lots of reading and spending a lot of time with Bartlet's Quotations, this is what I have come up with:
1. This is Paradise of the Abode of Peace - Arabian Nights
2. The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. - Victor Hugo
3. But we loved with a love that was more than a love. - Edgar Allen Poe

Well, Poe is wonderful, but I think that to quote from Annabel Lee might not be good... She died of TB.
I'll look for a few nice ideas. :D

I don't know about the Poe one either. He has always been one of my favorite poets. (Aside from my boy, Robert Frost!) But Annabell Lee is a take on undying love and total devotion.
I think I am going with the one from the Arabian Nights, I am just not sure. I need to figure it out soon though.

Yeah. The first book that I ever bought with money that I mearned myself was the complete works of E. A. Poe. Awesome purchase. I still have it!! I'm down to these two:
Latin: Amorem meum tibi semper dabo (English: I will keep giving you my love always)
Now comes the mystery. -Beecher
I think the one from Arabian Nights is nice. Very pretty. They're all very pretty.
