i don't know the whole story....

actually

i don't even know them

but

they were married on thursday

while he was home on leave from the service

and

they celebrated afterwards in the restaurant where her mom works

which happened to be the same place i was treating my mom to lunch

for mother's day

~back in my hometown~

my mom does know his grandma

~they were hospital roommates 49 years ago in the maternity ward with new babies~

so

when everyone was done eating

what else could i do

but ask if they wanted me to take their photos

~

they were so amazingly beautiful and in love

and

just sparkled when we walked down the street to a little park

~

during

the whole photo shoot

they laughed and kissed and smiled and kissed some more

~

he shipped back out yesterday

and

she'll be with him again in two months

~

congratulations

you love birds

and

thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me photograph your special day

~

your future is so incredibly bright

i'm still editing their photos

but

there are a few more over here that are finished
