No terrorist can defeat or stop true love. It is larger than we are. It unites the world. It is our greatest weapon against hate, war, and violence. Love and you will be loved. Learn from the example of this couple who married and announced their love to the world despite the terrorist attacks that bombarded their city in the days before their nuptials. Their celebration is proof that love truly conquers all.

I am glad this couple went ahead with their wedding plans (my cousin did, too, after 9/11). You are right, we must focus on our loving relationships and then work to spread that love far and wide. Terrorism is fueled on lies and hate.

Love is a light. Terrorism and hate are darkness. Darkness always flees in the presence of light.
