Heart is not a verb

You're right. Heart is not really a verb. But I got caught up in the trend to "heart" things, and excited to have a grown-up thing to apply it to. And while "OMG, I heart you!" is really annoying, I found that I was not particularly annoyed by the original:

And when trying to sort of "brand" the wedding blog and website, heart was just so adorable and young. Marc and I are high school sweethearts after all, and we try to stay young at... well.. heart.

And I knew I wanted "becky ::heart:: marc" on the save the dates- so when I saw Janie's I asked if we could copy it in our design.

I had also briefly considered "beckyheartsmarc.com" for a wedding website many months ago but decided originally that it was too one-sided. Now that I had the logo sort of, it was a go. And if you have a keen memory or if you clicked above, you'll remember we heart paper; and if you're in my head, you know I'm obsessed with thoughtful day... hence heart the day and becky hearts marc branding.

Marc asked me last night whether I was comfortable with using heart as a verb. My first response was that it was too late, duh. But I am in fact comfortable with it, in context. In the wedding blog world I think it works. Heart the day means to love the day, embrace each day, and we're looking toward one day in particular that will be filled with love and warmth. And if there's any day in this whole wide world I heart, it's that day. {And the day Marc worked up the nerve to talk to me... or even his birthday (I know, barf)}. I hope to take the joy I imagine feeling on that day and look at each day with wide-eyed hope and love. Repress my cynical sass just a bit.

So, I dunno. Here's to hearting things. And remembering that no matter how annoying life gets, there's still hearts and love. And butterflies and rainbows? And it's spring and the days are longer now.
