Is anyone else secretly a little terrified about happily-ever-after? I’m the weirdest mix of idealist and skeptic, and somehow along the way I became totally freaked out about love. (I know that’s probably a little weird, especially considering my fascination with weddings.) For me, the thought of always and forever induces just a little bit of panic—I can’t imagine getting married and knowing that this is it. Of course, I’m head over heels for N—a hundred million times more than I ever have been for any other boy. It’s not about him; just a general wondering if relationships really do work out foreverever.

So the sweet story behind this photo warmed my cold little heart. A seventy year old English farmer created a heart-shaped meadow in memory of his late wife—the heart points toward her hometown. The farmer kept the meadow a secret, until a hot air balloon flew over the area and spotted it. <3
