"Love doesn’t need a reason — that’s the problem with the question the Rabbi asked Liz and me in the meeting a few weeks or so before the wedding in which he sought to get to know a bit about us. Liz gave a wonderful response, which I don’t recall. All I came up with was I love that Liz loves me and has the common sense that I lacked (then)."
