Capturing emotion
One of the most intimate experiences I have been honored to witness is a wedding or vow renewal ceremony. I have a soft spot for those that do something unique with their special day as I was an elopement bride myself. There is just something very special about a small ceremony. Words and glances are exchanges and sometimes tears roll.
Typically, these are the most precious and happy moments and seeing/experiencing this firsthand chokes me up every time. Here was a couple that were over 7,000 miles away from their home country. They traveled this distance as the islands are very special to them, so here they exchanged the words that made them a newly married couple.
