Marriage Quote by Maile Meloy

“Yvette had never talked about her marriage - she was a smart girl, and she knew you had no right to complain about someone you got all the way to the altar with. You made that choice, even if you were a child when you did it, and the marriage vow was sacred.” quote by Maile Meloy — Download Open image
