He actually said this in two consecutive posts:

I point that out and quote it for you to show you and you have nothing but your bald assertion to support your hostile personal vendetta. here ya go again: "constituting or forming a large number; numerous: many people."

I agree with Darth J. "Large" is a term of relativity in a specific context. 1,000 is not a large portion of 10,000,000, for example. But I suppose everything is "large" if looked at with one's 'spiritual eyes'.

Is it true the word "love" is not used in LDS marriage vows in the temple?

You can find the script here:

But you are correct, no mention of love. Basically the man covenants to receive the women and women covenants to give herself to the man.

Here is a good blog about LDS weddings vs. traditional ceremonies from a former member turned evangelical.

Pretty sure the word "love" does not appear in the words of the temple marriage ceremony.
