826CHI Volunteer Photo Book: My World Project - Part 1: MOTHER AND FATHER OF THE GROOM

It was a hot summer evening and everyone was as happy as they could be. Friends and family, all were present, all anxious to see the joining of these two young lives. All were excited to see the joy and excitement on these young soon-to-be-newlyweds’ faces. The mother and father of the groom sat and watched their third son’s marriage. They seemed stoic and stiff, their backs like a fortress. There was an unspoken story there as I watched the ceremony over their shoulders.
