Stories in general can inspire us, can reach into the depths of our souls with healing and restoration, and can forever change the course of our lives.

I also believe love is just as powerful.

Josie and Matt talk a lot about team work in their vows. They recognize that being married means being for each other and on each others’ team.

One of my favorite lines from Love Actually, is when Hugh Grant is narrating the end of the movie, he says, “Love is, actually, all around.” Further proof of that? Kelly and Dustin met at a gas station. Love can be found anywhere. At any place.

It feels like snorting magical unicorn dust every time I get to read a couples’ vows.

I love how a couples’ values and hearts for one another come out in their words. Especially if they’ve written their own vows.
