Saying I love You in different languages

Valentines Day!
I was with my husband an hour ago. We decided to celebrate our valentines day by going to church and renewing our "vows". Theirs a mass and many couple are also there like us renewing our Vows and also thanking our creator for all those years that we spent together. I was really happy that there are gathering like that for married couple to be united once again infront of the altar reminising all that we've been thru all these years. I almost cry on thanking God for giving me such a wonderful husband nothing to ask for more but all I want for that moment is to thank him for all the blessing that he showered me. I did'nt say that it was a perfect marriage but I am happy for what is going on with us, in our relationship not only as couple but also as friends.... This is the first time I experience this and my friend who invited me to go their said that this is only done the 2nd time it was last year that they started celebrating this occassion. Wonderful is'nt it .... And when I got home still in the middle of happiness I am thingking on how our people say I Love You in their special way... like by saying it in different languages so when I got home I try to search it on the web and trying to collect it little by little until I gather it all. Different countries , different languages even dialects wow... It was so amazing that even if it's different way to say it their is only one meaning in all. "Saying how you feel is very important and saying how you love someone makes that person really happy... It's really great also how to be love this is the reason we still living and surviving... So don't hesitate to say you love that person try to make yourself happy.
Here are the thing I got hope we all enjoy reading and learning it....
Happy reading..............
