In my vows, I tell Joey that because of the way I was brought up, I couldn’t, for the longest time, comprehend the concept of unconditional love. That isn’t true anymore. His constant, unwavering love has healed me in ways I never could have imagined. Through him, I learned that you can make mistakes and still deserve love. You can fight and then repair. Through his love, I understood how to unconditionally love myself.
