The morning of the wedding at home.
The morning of the wedding unfolds at home. A hearty get together the night before, family gathers together to celebrate the upcoming union. A slight aroma of bagels and morning pastries, and bit of conversation fill the house. There’s a sense of excitement and joy and love that binds this family together.
