J.  An important leg of the journey of my niece's life has just begun with her wedding this past weekend.  A day this young woman has dreamed about most of her young life.  She was a fairy-tale princess who drove to marry prince-charming in a horse-drawn carriage.
May their life together be filled with even more precious moments.

A reassuring mother's hand on the bride's knee before the ceremony.

All veil and pearls, peonies and crystal.

Swept away with the joy of it all

The bridesmaids wore silver shoes, and so did the pony!

Riding off...away to their new life.

But this was what it was all about.
