"I married the perfect man"

"Will you take him to be you lawful wedded husband in riches..." the priest continued.

I looked at the man I was about to marry. He stood there in all glory,smiling at me. In his eyes I could see all the love in the world. It was as if God captured all the love he exuded and put it all inside him. He was the one God chose for me. I could feel the love whenever he touched me, the warmth that emanated from his gaze kept me going even in reality. He had the most soothing voice I ever heard.

"Yes I will. I will love you faithfully. Unconditionally. Only death can separate us. Even in death, nothing can take away this love I feel for you."

I loved him even before I knew it. I fell in love with him at the point where I had lost all hope of love.Before I met him, I would go to bed most nights, questioning God about love, I wanted to know why I couldn't find love as pure as God's. I wanted to know why love was selfish and cold and brutal. I wanted to know why Kevin left even when he said he loved me, I wanted to know why mama died even after she told me she loved me. I wanted to know why love left me in tears and heartbreak. I wanted to know if anyone was capable of loving me the way I loved and more. I wanted to know why the world was cold and in rubbles. I soaked my pillows seeking answers to these questions. Most times I felt God was too confused to answer,most times I felt he didn't even have answers for my questions. Most times I felt he was angry at me for turning down Andrew in my first year in the university. Sometimes I cringed in guilt thinking that God's silence was because I had given away my virginity all because of youthful exuberance.

I sat in a loveless cave. It was a cold cave. Everyone here wanted something in return for their love, I craved love like a druggie's cravings. I wanted to be loved. I had so much love in me that despite all the love I gave out and all the hate I received I still had so much love I wanted to give out.i was at the verge of giving up hope, I was at that point where I had sunk halfway into the pit of "true-love-doesnt -exist" when God sent him. He had grabbed my hands when I was falling, he had told me he loved me. I looked at him and searched for the obvious deceit and I did not see it. I still could not believe it, I told him to go away and let me sink into this pit. He said he would never leave me. I told him if he didn't let Go of me, I would pull him down with me . He smiled warmly and said " I would walk around the world with you, I would swim the ocean with you. I will walk the end of the road with you just to let you know I love you"...

Slowly, he began to bring me out of the pit. Most times I was scared of coming out. I was scared I would come out and I would realise he was just a mirage. Every step of this journey with him, he told me it wasn't a mirage. Every step of this journey he gave me every cause to look up tp heaven and smile. We came out of the pit together.

I stand here today, getting married to the man God has given me, the man God has blessed me with and I couldn't thank God enough for a love so pure.

"Even if the stars stop shining, and the rain stops falling. No matter what happens, there is no more fulfilling feeling than loving you and being your husband, I love you vanessa" he said as he leaned forward to kiss me.

"Dance with God and he will let the perfect man cut in. Never forget to make every stumble part of the dance."
