What is love?

I've had reason to wonder recently about what love truly is. This passage was read at my wedding and I looked at it myself when Aaron and I were becoming more serious. I thought I'd share it here as a reminder to myself and to you.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."'
