Question
I wanted to translate the phrase "you and no other, forever" to put on wedding
invitations in Latin.  Thank you so much!!

Answer
Hello,

the phrase "you and no other, forever" can be translated as follows:

“Tu solum, in aeternum”
Or:
“Tu solum, semper”

Note that:
-TU (nominative) = You

-SOLUM (adverb ; literally, ‘only’) = and no other.
Latin in fact uses the adverb SOLUM to mean “ and no other’.

-IN AETERNUM / SEMPER = forever

Best wishes,
Maria
