Engraving...Shorthand? UPDATED!

We got our wedding bands this weekend and originally wanted them engraved with...

'We're simply meant to be' from the Nightmare before Christmas, however, since I have tiny hands they said it is too long...

They suggested maybe having it written in shorthand (we'd still know the meaning then). Does anyone know how to write this in shorthand? I've never even seen that 'language' so to speak. Or anyone know where I can find how to properly write it out?

Or do you have any other suggestions? we didn't like 'meant to be' as was also suggested.

Thanks for your help

P.S. They are out being sized so I'll post a pic when they come in

UPDATE: I found a stenographer and he said that shorthand would actually be longer!!!! Oh well!!!! Back to the drawing board!

Here is a site I found about shorthand...I'm not sure if it'll be too helpful though shorthand

Maybe like...internet speak? WeRSmplyMnt2B or something like that?

I dont know the correct way to shorthand it, but how about:
'wer smply ment 2 b'


just an idea

I suggested that but my FH hates it when people write/type/talk like that so i think the 'computer' and 'im' shorthand is out of the question....

or maybe u can use another language from ur cultures, sometimes it can be shorter or different when translated

how about engraving in Hebrew? it's only 2 words and I can translate
