Save the Last Dance for Love

My husband and I are newlyweds, married June 28th. We were dating for eight years, and we certainly had our ups and downs through all of them. But true love would not let us shake each other; no matter what we faced, we always faced it together. When we were apart, there was a part of Ryan that remained with me, that pushed me to the limits and tested my heart, that stood by me, even when I thought I'd had the power to let him go. I was always wrong, to try and move on without him. This bountiful love is unconditional love, and because that is something rare to find, it's something precious to keep. It has earned the right to possess unyielding strength and my soul expresses a neverending gratitude to God for showing me in someone else how He loves us, how He forgives us, and how He holds us forever more.
