What are weddings?

Those in my profession spend a lot of time waxing about the meaning of marriage, the purpose of a wedding, the religious and spiritual significance, and blabbady blabbady on we go. I include myself in the blabbady crew.

One of my brides just sent me this photo which takes all the blabbady out. The photographer snuck this while I was greeting guests after the ceremony. For all we say about weddings, marriage, and the timelessness of love - yes, it is all true. But on a hot summer day - this is what this minister is feeling.
