“I’m supposed to ask that,” I teased. “Do you plan to steal my dance moves, too?”

“Nope, just your heart,” she replied.

“No can do.” I shook my head.

“No?”

“You already have it.”

“And you have mine.” She tilted her chin up, and I met her lips with a slow kiss. Then I tightened my arms around her and focused on the words of the song.

I’d become steady like the shoreline, safe and sure

You were wild like the waves, crashing through my world

Never thought our paths would cross this way

But God had a plan, and He made us stay

I didn’t see it coming, but now I understand

Love works in ways that we don’t have to plan

You’re the fire, I’m the calm

You’re the storm, I’m the dawn

Somehow, we fit like a melody

You make me brave, I hold you close

With faith, we found the way to go

It’s crazy, but it’s pure and clear like a morning daisy

You and me were meant to be

From the moment of my darkness, you took my hand

We didn’t know forever was part of God’s plan

Now with two little hearts running at our side

Love looks a lot like faith in real life

I didn’t see it coming, but now I understand

Love works in ways that we don’t have to plan

As she repeated the chorus, some of the guests started to sing along.

Through the bonfires, through the rain

Through the laughter, through the flames

We were never lost, no, we were found

God was writing love all around
