Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #37: A Little Romance
“If he loved you with all the power of his soul for a whole lifetime, he couldn’t love you as much as I do in a single day” ~ Heathcliff, Wuthering Heights
Yes, I admit it…I am a hopeless romantic. I am the one who sits in the back of the movie theatre and cries her eyes out at the slightest inkling of a romantic, happy ending!….So it makes perfect sense (well, to me anyway) that one of the things I am constantly drawn to in The Twilight Saga is Edward’s and Bella’s unfailing, undeniable, intense and passionate love they have for each other…To many of us it’s what draws us back to reading the books over and over and over again……My husband (whom I love with all my heart) is NOT romantic in anyway, shape or form, and although I knew this when I married him I sometimes find myself craving for a little bit of romance…So apart from actually physically going out to find it…I turn to my bookshelf instead!
 I took a deep breath.
“Isabella Swan?” He looked up at me through his impossibly long lashes, his golden eyes soft but, somehow, still scorching. ” I promise to love you forever- every single day of forever. Will you marry me?”
There were many things I wanted to say, some of them not nice at all, and others more discustingly gooey and romantic than he probably dreamed I was capable of. Rather than embarrass myself with either, I whispered, “Yes.”
“Thank you,” he said simply. He took my left hand and kissed each of my finger tips before he kissed the ring that was now mine. ~ Bella Swan, Eclipse, pg 460
So here’s my challenge to you…
Do you have a favourite Edward and Bella, Jacob and Bella or even a Alice and Jasper romantic moment? Create something that celebrate’s their love or how about creating something for that special person who you love.
Tell us about your most favourite romantic moment… be it in the books or real life!

I love this site and would love to be entered in the blog candy contest! I have been wanting these sets so bad! My favorite romantic moment was when my hubby proposed in front of my parents.

OH!! Fantastic theme! I was pacing around my craft room last night wishing for some inspiration and went to Twilighted instead. SO glad you posted this. I’ll work on this one tonight. xx
PS. I’m always in tears over the romantic stuff too… although my friends would swear I’m not the romantic type. LOL!

Hi! I’m a long time friend of Eve who is posting the blog candy. This is my first time leaving a comment for the Twilight Challenge.
Here is my favorite romantic moment from one of my all time favorite book’s “Dragonfly in Amber” by Diana Galbadon. This book is #2 in the Outlander Series. Jamie is sending Claire back to her own time while he prepares to die in war:
“I will find you,” he whispered in my ear. “I promise. If I must endure two hundred years of purgatory, two hundred years without you—then that is my punishment, which I have earned for my crimes. For I have lied, and killed, and stolen; betrayed and broken trust. But there is one thing that shall lie in the balance. When I shall stand before God, I shall have one thing to say, to weigh against the rest.”
His voice dropped, nearly to a whisper, and his arms tightened around me.
“Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I loved her well.”
sigh…..wish men could talk like that now!
Love seeing the challenges each week!
Lisa

So we have until Monday night to submit our entries? Am I understanding it correctly? Sorry. I’ve been wanting to jump in but haven’t had time. Now that I’m pregnant, I have all kinds of time! LOL
