Oh mirror in the sky, what is love?- Stevie Nicks

Wow, what a difficult question, huh?
When it comes to romantic love one can say it is a set of emotions involving intimacy, passion, and commitment, ideally associated with trust, affection, caring and a unique type of closeness.
But love itself, the act of one person loving another, is as unique and individual as a fingerprint or snowflake. Each couple and each person within that couple have a different way of feeling and expressing love, methods carved into our psyche through experiences from our birth to the present day.  We all create our own definition of love and on an intellectual level it can be easy to describe it.
But emotionally the feeling of love has no definition. Love just is. At times it seems logical and reasonable and other times it defies rational thought. It can be scary and sublime at the same time but it remains at the forefront of our very being and the reason we are willing to take the quantum leap of committing ourselves to another person.
So here are the latest couples who have made their way to the courthouse to sign on for what one hopes is a lengthy adventure.
