Genesis 29:20

¹⁸ Since Jacob loved Rachel, he answered, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”

¹⁹ Laban replied, “Better that I give her to you than to another. Stay here with me.”

So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, yet it seemed but a few days because of his love for her.

²¹ Finally Jacob said to Laban, “Grant me my wife, for my time is complete, and I want to sleep with her.”

²² So Laban invited all the men of that place and prepared a feast.
