the sweet moment

My cousin Jean was a great inspiration to my wedding. Her moment took place during the 1970s. The bride quite beautiful in a white knee length dress. Her groom wore a simple black suit. They were married in her mother's living room at her tiny apartment. After they sat down as husband and wife and shared a southern feast with family and close friends. At the end of their day, Jean and Alfred stood before a small white cake prepared by her mother. Their eyes were filled with love, joy, and hope.

Maybe it does take a million dollars to have an event, but it only takes a little bit care and love for a moment.
