We arrived in the early afternoon. A crisp, breezy, sort of autumn day, the sun sparkled on the ocean. Idyllic.  

A wedding, stripped to its basics, to the fundamental truths and feelings behind such a momentous occasion...

The rings.

A bride, beautiful with adornments. 

(Beautiful without) 

Flowers.

 A ring for a father dearly missed on a day like this.

 A nervous groom singing a love song under his breath.

An excited bride who can hardly keep herself from running to him.

A chance meeting? "Funny seeing you here!"

"I've been waiting for you my whole life."

And nothing but love. Just love, stripped away to its purest form.

A ceremony.

A dance together towards forever.

A promise of a new life, lived together.

Family.

 A new family.

So what is a wedding really, then? The answer is simpler than rings, and flowers, dances, and kisses - it's a promise of forever, of two hearts... and one love.

 Congratulations, Larna and Greg!
