Make sure that your text and the bride are grouped and that the heart is ungrouped. Selection order matters for this part. Select the inner circle, then shift select the outer line of the heart. Choose Boolean A-B. Or you can bring up the Boolean Assistant (Ctrl B).

this is the file if it helps.
thank you for your help
You can only combine closed shapes. It seems you cut the shapes already.
You can only combine them the following way:
Both outer circles need to be closed and grouped. Both heart shapes need to be grouped. Then you can select both groups and use boolean operations. Since you already cut the shapes, you can only use the node edit tool to manually edit, move and join all nodes that are involved.
The cut tool can help you here, but there will be some manual work required, I think:
This file contains quite some design issues. Many paths are not ideal. In general, I don’t think this will really work out. It is far too small, the connecting areas are so tiny that most lasers will just burn them away. I already corrected some because some letters weren’t connected, but most of the connections are far below 1mm, most wood will break when you touch it.

its my first project so i dont have much expirience on lightburn i started using a laser machine 2 days ago. im doing it so small because i try it on 120x120 bamboo wood so i wont waste a lot of metereal for trials. my main question right now is if i do it in a wood lets say 400x400 will the blank space fell and the letters with the hearth and the bride stay together? thank you for your time
Yes, in the beginning, there is a steep learning curve But keep going on and it will get easier every day
You can just resize the project to the desired size and use the measurement tool to measure the distances of the connecting parts. I don’t recommend having less than 1 or 2 mm for those.
In the version I uploaded, the text should stay together. Actually, the heart with the engraved names will drop out. But that’s how it is designed. You could remove the inner heart shape to keep the heart in as a full object.
Melvin has given you a lot af help and good advice. One thing I would add, since you’re so new. Practice on cardboard or paper until you get your design worked out. It’s much less expensive than wood.
I suggest you change the inner heart and contained text to engrave, like the example piece, rather than cut, like you had it.
