Photo of Marine Praying With Bride-to-Be Goes Viral



A photo of a young Marine praying with his bride-to-be quickly went viral after it was posted on Facebook by the wedding photographer.

U.S. Marine Cpl. Caleb Earwood wanted to pray with his bride Maggie before their ceremony in Asheville, North Carolina, on Saturday. So with the help of their family and wedding photographer Dwayne Schmidt, Caleb was guided to the cabin where Maggie was getting ready for the service, where the couple joined hands around a corner so as not to break tradition and see each other before the altar.
"They hid me in a room and he stepped up on the stairwell and he stuck his hand out and I grabbed his hand," Maggie Earwood told ABC News today.

"As soon as their hands touched he started getting emotional," Schmidt told ABC News.

"The whole room was full of emotion," Schmidt said. "I tried not to cry and focus on what I was doing."

The resulting image shows the couple turned away from each other, their hands joined, as Caleb prays out loud and Maggie tries to hold back her tears. Caleb prayed for their marriage, asking that their union be strong enough to serve as an example for all young couples, Schmidt said.

Weird superstitions - bride and groom can't see each other and then talk to an invisible magic sky fairy.

Some wedding photographers ask if you want this photo.

I wish them well, a long happy marriage.
 
Nice to see.

Great photo. I wish both of them a long and happy life together.
 
Good luck to them.

As an aside, personally I'd be pretty angry if my photographer had put my wedding pictures on his website. My wedding was a private commitment between my husband and I, and our families and friends, not some.. idk media circus show. I had a contract with my photographer that bought me all rights to the photos and negatives. ~shrug~
 
Is he facing a court martial for this illegal activity? He was praying, in uniform. You know this is going to have some repurcussions.
 
What a lovely picture. Cheers to the happy couple!

It looks like the Killjoy Express has arrived a little early this morning.

In this case, the photographer probably owned the rights to the photos, and he/she probably knew the pics could bring business.

I'm sure, it is SOP for the photographer to own the rights to use them in their advertising. Still, having it go viral across the country is a whole new level of exposure, plus now you've got media re-publishing it as well... I suppose it would depend on their contract, and how much attention the couple wants, or sharing they want to do. I'm going to guess they don't care. Different strokes for different folks. :)

You just couldn't leave it alone, could you ?

No he couldnt. Hes a liberal psycho.

See...the photo has 3 things that drive liberals crazy and make them nauseous:

- A man in uniform. Ugh! Scary. He plays with guns and is so...mean and intolerant.
- A straight wedding, yuck!!! Its not a classy and cultural wedding like two fudge packers would have.
- Praying to Jesus. The worst offense of all.

Typical liberal...EVERYTHING has to be motivated by a political statement. It was just a cool photo. Relax.

I bet you tell the waitress you only want your coffee black and your meal must be all vegan....not because you like it...but to make a political statement.

I didn't start the thread in the current events forum of a political discussion message board.

Your last post was a perfect response to the thread. Exactly what was intended. You should be proud. Three things........,you are a hoot.
