Simple principles that all couples should practice. Love the color of their garments against the deep green backdrop of trees.
Those are seven beautiful steps to live by. The kids look wonderful, and it seems they're also being watched over by a Pegasus.
A beautiful photo and a wonderful set of promises for the bride and groom.
Pegasus and Ganesh look like they belong together, as does your daughter and husband.
Beautiful vows that encompass the essence of marriage.
