“We were two and had but one heart.”  — Francois Villon

A simple wedding photo is a powerful trigger for sharing memories: stories about how a couple met, courted and married.  Do you have an old wedding photo in a family album?  Today would be to the perfect day to ask Mom, Dad or any other family member about the details.  How did the couple meet?  What were their first impressions of one another?  Where did they go on their honeymoon?

Even if the people in the picture have passed away, another generation will know the details of a “Great Love Story”.

There’s no need to search for romance in novels.  I’m sure your family album holds some wonderful love stories.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
