18 Joyful Declarations Of Love From Newlyw...
Matt Stopera

1. So, while people were waiting in line to get married…

2. …I asked them to write how long they’ve been together.

3. Then I asked each of them to write their absolute favorite thing about the other.

4. Then they showed each other.

5. Then they showed me.

6. Then sometimes this happened.

7. I had 17 other couples do this. Enjoy.

All photos by me.

      So much beauty and love! <3
      I feel so lucky to live in a time where things are changing for the better. Though we have so much work to do, there is much to celebrate!

      Bravo Matt!!! I can’t imagine being together for 23 years & only now being able to be legally married.
