    Now here is something very closely related

    Petr and Fevronia – Orthodox patrons of the family and marriage , whose marital union is considered a model of Christian marriage.

    Their feast is on June 25th OS or July 8th which is also known as День семьи, любви и верности – The Day of Family, Love and Fidelity.

    1. That is Charles M Schulz (spelling?) of Peanuts fame.
    2. I don’t recognise that quote. There was one fairly similar though so I’ll answer a different question.
    “Love means never having to say you’re sorry” was in Love Story written by someone whose last name was Segal. I remember watching it in the early 1970′s on a flight from Singapore to Auckland. Those were the days when you didn’t have personal screens and you took what they gave you. It was a terrible film. Mind you in those days there was much more room between the rows and the flights were never full so it was much more comfortable.

    4. Carnation
    5. A bit of fun though I have never taken part.
