My fiance and I have been looking into wedding readings (6 weeks to go - woot) and we came across this:
'A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys and keys to fit our locks... No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.'
Now originally, I saw it sourced as being written by A.A. Milne from Now We Are Six. This was very exciting as we are both Winnie the Pooh fans. However, we bought that book and can't find it anywhere in the book. I've now seen some people sourcing the quote from Richard Bach. I've seen dozens of sites crediting both authors, but I can't seem to find the actual source material its from.
So in short, where is that quote actually from? Thanks!

This directly quotes it as being from pg. 388 of Bridge Across Forever by Richard Bach.

Scroll down a tiny bit. Same credit.
And in numerous other places.
EDIT: In fact, I can't really find it being accredited to Milne anywhere except for on one couple's wedding site. Often a quote from Bach and Milne are both found on various "wedding reading" websites (and sometimes the names show up in the preview together when you search), but if you go to the pages, you'll see there are two different quotes.
We are done here - lock away!
What sites? I'm curious.
Hmmm. I Googled the first line and all that came up was Richard Bach after Richard Bach reference. But if you were looking specifically at wedding sites, I'm sure one person mis-referenced it and then it took off from there.
