How sad :(

I wasn't hot in my 30s, but probably above-average pretty and same with my DH.  We're together because of our whole personalities, not our looks.  It's pointless to get into a relationship primarily based on how someone looks -- we ALL get older, looks always fade.

This song was sung at my sister's wedding and it expresses that idea...

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly to-day,
Were to change by to-morrow and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy gifts fading away,
Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art,
Let thy loveliness fade as it will;
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still.
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear,
That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known,
To which time will but make thee more dear.
No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close
As the sunflower turns on her God when it sets
The same look which she turned when it rose.[/quote]
