Marine and his wife-to-be pray before wedding ceremony

A U.S. Marine and his future wife, share an emotional moment before their wedding ceremony on Saturday in Asheville, North Carolina.

The picture shows Cpl. Caleb Earwood holding his bride’s hand around a door frame. Earwood said he wanted to pray for their marriage together, but didn’t want to jinx things by seeing his bride Maggie before she walked down the aisle.

Photographer Dwayne Schmidt said he felt lucky to be at the right place and capture the moving moment.
