Marriage Quote by Taylor Jenkins Reid

“Why did I elope with my husband after knowing him for only four months? I wish I could show people the picture of the two of us that night and have them feel what I felt. But it's just a picture. It can only capture how things looked, not how they felt.” quote by Taylor Jenkins Reid
