A beautifully designed lace paper depicting the ultimate expectation of a valentine - the joining of two hearts in the marriage ceremony.
- How sweet is friendships gentle bond, when heart in heart can rest,
- And holy are the kindred loves that warm the human breast;
- Still sweeter, holier, is the tie which wedded love can bind,
- When pure affection forms the bond, and mind is linked to mind.
