Today I am so proud to unveil my new line of couture inspired wedding albums simply named “Intimacy”.  The Intimacy line was inspired by the great Jane Austin who once said “For a relationship to flourish, there must be intimacy. It takes an enormous amount of courage to say to your spouse, “This is me. I’m not proud of it — in fact, I’m a little embarrassed by it — but this is who I am.”  How true that often we avoid intimacy in our relationships for fear of ridicule or rejection. To be honest, truly honest with your partner takes humility at the deepest levels. This is the ultimate sacrifice. That one would stand naked and say “This is who I am..the good and the bad. The proud and the insecure. I am embarrassed of these things but I reveal them to you because I love you and I put my faith in your ability to love me despite these things.”

What makes humility so desirable is the marvelous thing it does to us; it creates in us a capacity for the closest possible intimacy with our lovers. In other words, intimacy is sex for the soul. Now I’m not saying these albums are better than sex. But its a close call.
