idea for wedding ring inscription?

Qiang has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hello fellow monks, My fiancee is not in the IT field but I would like to get an inscription somehow related to Perl and also understandable to her as well. both of us are Chinese, btw.

only thing I can come up with is "You and I while(1)", probably one ring with "You and I" and the other "while(1)".

anyone?

BTW, 2009 Beijing Perl Workshop is happening on Sep 19!! come visit us.

Only a minor suggestion: `You and I while 1` is a slightly 'cleaner' (and still syntactically valid) form of this statement, possibly better suited to 'poetic' expression. Also: Have you checked out Perl Poetry on this site for inspiration?	[reply] [d/l]

`while 1` might be replaced by `until die` for a more dramatic effect ;-) Maybe you should also display your names somehow. Perhaps something like <c>join 'AND', 'HER_NAME', 'YOUR_NAME', where you could use the Chinese symbol for AND instead of the English word. -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Surely together would be better still `While 1 Until die` Update Congratulations and good luck on your up-and-coming wedding. Just think in 30 years and you will be able to celebrate your Perl Anniversary as we did 5 years ago.	[reply] [d/l]

Depending on how strict you want to be, `You and I while (true);` reads better to the nontechnical. My wife and I went with a more traditional "(initials) to (initials) (hexadecimal timestamp)". `-- Rocco Caputo - http://poe.perl.org/ - irc://irc.perl.org/poe`	[reply] [d/l]

How about: `\|\\|3rD$ Ph0r L1Ph3`? Kidding! Good luck and congratulations. Creativity and your appreciation for things outside the mainstream will be an asset for both of you in your joint venture.	[reply] [d/l]
