A wedding photograph circled the globe after it went viral on the internet. The image portrays a groom and a bride standing beside each other, tightly holding hands.
Without exchanging glances, the young woman sheds tears while the man gazes downward. What could this signify? Had he upset her just prior to the ceremony? Had he changed his mind? Could he have informed her at the last minute that she needed to move to the front? Had he confessed about his past wrongdoings to her? Not at all!
Corporal Caleb Earwood had desired a moment of prayer with his future wife before their marriage. The prayer was dedicated to their forthcoming union. As per tradition dictating that the groom should not see the bride prior to the wedding, the two chose not to make eye contact; they merely clasped hands and prayed together.
The photographer who captured the scene confessed that this stood out as one of the most poignant moments in his entire wedding photography career. Right after this exceptional and special instance, the groom and the bride held an intimate ceremony near a lake.
Here is a video about the story behind the image:
