She was a bride out of ancient times, when "hand-fasting" was the name of the ceremony, and such natural charm and grace was the norm - sans makeup and accoutrements.
Enigmatic in her beauty, with a most handsome husband at her side, they were surrounded by love. This new couple was serene, sharing a peaceful demeanor, quietly arranging the positions with the photographer, gathering attendants or parents to pose for another shot.
Perfect young children suddenly ran along the lawn, and just as suddenly slowed and sought shade from the heat, and occasionally dipped a finger into the goldfish pond.
The wedding party sought shade as well, going into the glade for photos under the canopy of trees, seeking coolness in the evergreens.
They all glided softly around the property and found their way back to the cars (likely air conditioned). As they drove off to the wedding reception, it seemed like quiet birds were taking flight for a skyward path to another land.
