Elvi & Marla

This is Marla and Elvi and we went to their wedding late this afternoon - what an amazing event!   We met them because they were one of the couples in our marriage preparation group and we thought they were pretty special.  He is in the Marine Corps and leads a group of recruiters.  We had no idea that there would be an honor guard, complete with swords.  A very impressive Marine Corps tradition.

Before the wedding began, I was wandering around outside the church, and saw this happening. The woman on the right is one of the two wedding photographers, and I was taken by the formality of his uniform, and the informality of her outfit.  I thought that this would be the blog post, until I saw the ceremony leaving the church.
