[movie] MONDAY!
MARIA and BATES
"I wanted to share a few things, Maria... specifically to you... that I love about you:
You have the best laugh in the entire world. It just makes everybody smile and feel better. And I just ask that you continue to be your authentic, goofy, silly self. And I hope I bring that out in you for many, many, many, many, many years to come.
Your effort... how you tackle big problems - especially other people's problems first - I really admire that.
I find your ambition so attractive. You don't wait for something to happen, you make it happen."
-Bates, the Groom
Just listen to the way Bates loves Maria! These two are so very kind, caring, and supportive of each other and the people they love. Everyone needs special people like Bates and Maria in their lives. We feel honored to have been orbiting them for this brief moment in time. ❤️
