This is an unremarkable photograph of a most remarkable event. I know it is a wedding, and that may not seem remarkable. However, three weeks ago the groom lay in a hospital bed in Texas, with one leg split wide open from ankle to knee, the result of a boating accident. The wedding was three weeks away, and no one was even considering the possibility of the groom being at the event. What this photograph is really about, is what true love is - both the love between the brothers, Chris, the groom, and Pat the best man, and the devotion and love of Angela, his bride. She immediately flew from the east coast to be with him in Texas, and Pat was there already. The two of them spent night and day at his bedside, and through extremely good luck, and the force of will, three weeks later Chris was on the altar with his bride! He still has a long recovery ahead, but the wedding was a joy to behold for all who were there.
