"The only reason God gave me eyes was to see you 🤍," Charity wrote in her post. "We danced over and over and over to this song after we got engaged in our little villa in Fiji, still didn’t have my phone but I told my producer to play it for us, and it could not be more true with how we felt…standing there wondering what we were about to embark on, what we were about to face—so many emotions but all we needed was each other, and that we found."
