Ocean Isle Photographer Goes Viral: This Powerful Photo of the Marine and His Bride was taken just a few moments before their wedding on Saturday.
The photo was snapped after U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Caleb Earwood asked members of his family to bring him together with Maggie, his fiancée.
The two of them held hands near a staircase, as Cpl. Earwood wore his Marine dress uniform and she wore her wedding gown. As they prayed together they kept their eyes closed so would not see each other before their wedding ceremony.
