"From this moment on, I take you as my husband, to laugh, love, live, share, cry and dream with for the rest of my life. You are the love of my life, my hero, my soulmate and my best friend. I want to thank you for giving me the best years of my life so far. Thank you for loving me, being there for me through good and bad times and for loving my family for what they are. Today marks our fourth year being together, and our love for each other just seems to get stronger and better each day. I know that our marriage will go through happy and sad times, but I also know that together, we can learn from each other and become better persons. I feel lucky to marry someone who is so kind not just to me, but to my family and to other people. You make me feel like a princess every day. As long as I have you in my life, I am happy and content. Youare my dream come true, my prince, and I promise to comfort you, hold youclose, remain faithful to you and give all that I have and all that I am forall the days of my life, this is my solemn vow to you."

This is just part of the bride's vows which were so powerful and emotional, my eyes were watering behind the lens. Despite the rainy weather that day their wedding was beautiful and full of love. Congratulations Athena and Lloyd!
