I signed us up for Couples in Love :) There's a cute recent picture up, and our story of love :)

It just came on the radio, and an overwhelming thrill of memory came over me. Tears actually well up in my eyes as I post this.

I picked Steven Curtis Chapman's I Will Be Here as the song for my wedding. Megan so sweetly said she would love to sing or do something for my wedding, and I had heard this song at another wedding and knew it was the one.

The words meant so much to me. I wanted Eric to really know that they were true. I wanted to know they were true for me.

I don't remember much of the actual performance - Megan cried, and if I could have seen her singing, I would have been, too. It meant so much to me that she did it, and I just glowed at Eric as she sang.

But hearing the words over and over while Megan practised throughout our wedding prep time weeks in advance placed them in my heart forever, and will be a resounding reminder of the day I gave my heart to my love. I don't think I'll ever be able to hear the song without tears!

I Will Be Here
by Steven Curtis Chapman
from "More to This Life"

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
and the sun does not appear
I, I will be here
If in the dark you lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I, I will be here

I will be here when you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen, and I will be here
when the laughter turns to crying
Through the winning, losing and trying, we'll be together
'Cause I will be here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
and the future is unclear
I, I will be here
As sure as the season are made for change
Our lifetimes were made for years
So I, I will be here

I will be here and you can cry on my shoulder
when the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you, and I will be here
to watch you grow in beauty
and tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made
to you and to the One who gave you to me
