several times before their

Kari and Matt had quite a history

with unnamable

that coursed them to each other

 after their own individual journeys

safely together.        .        .

They proved

as if anyone needs proof when it comes to the crazy

Kari and Matt

thought

(rightfully so)

they had the most perfect explanation

(at least for them)

in a simple poem

by Taylor Mali

entitled:

FALLING    IN    LOVE    IS    LIKE    OWNING    A    DOG

On cold winter nights love is warm                                                                                                 It lies between your and lives and breathes                                                                                  and makes funny noises.

Love can wake you up all hours of the night with its needs.

Love can give you a sense of security:                                                                                           When you’re walking down the street late at night                                                                      and you have a leash on love,                                                                                                           ain’t no one gonna mess with you.

Love needs to be fed so it will grow and stay healthy.                                                               Love does not like being left alone for long.                                                                                   But come home and love is always happy to see you.                                                                Love may break a few things accidentally in it’s passion for life,                                                          but you can never be mad at love for long.

Love leaves you little surprises here and there.                                                                             Love makes messes.                                                                                                                                 Sometimes you just want to get love fixed.

Sometimes you want to roll up a piece of newspaper                                                                  and swat love on the nose.                                                                                                               But then love gives you big kisses,                                                                                                 And you laugh the little things.

Sometimes love just wants to play.                                                                                                        Running you around the block, leaving you panting.                                                                          It pulls you in several different directions at once,                                                                         or winds around and around you,                                                                                                       until you’re all wound up and can’t move.

And love brings you together.                                                                                                         People who have nothing in common but love                                                                               stop and talk and greet each other on the street.                                                                           Most importantly, love needs love, and lots of it.

Like most couples

on    T H E I R    S P E C I A L    D A Y

they bring people together

to   not   only   show   the   love   they   have   for   each  other

but to ultimately.           .          .
