A simple image of a Lynchburg, Va., Marine and his bride praying before their wedding has gone viral.
In the photo, Bre and Josh Curtas are seen holding hands from around a corner so that the groom cannot see the bride.
According to Bre, who started a Tumblr account after the photo went viral, the future husband and wife were were praying for their marriage.
“My husband prayed that God would bless our marriage, that through thick or thin together we would never lose hope in one another,” she wrote. “That instead of focusing on each others imperfections we would always rely on Christ’s perfection.”
The sweet photo was taken before the couple’s wedding last August, and seems to have gained traction online in the midst of wedding season.
“There we sat around the corner hand in hand, and together we bowed our heads. People were rushing about; the wedding coordinator directing people here and there, the photographers snapping photos and the bridal party enjoying each others company,” Bre continued. “Yet in that moment, in the quietness of our hearts and minds, my husband and I were alone in the presence of our Savior, Jesus Christ.”

Damn Christians.
Punish him before Jesus and the Love of God infect others, like a plague and they catch happiness, contentment and love and a certainty that all is well with God The Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in your life as guides and protectors.

Wow. There is so much that’s good in that pic. I can see why it’s struck a chord with people.

(Will he be disciplined for this?) Air Force maybe, Marine Corps never.
As long as he has his CO's permission to get married he'll be okay.
Remember, if the Corps wanted you to have a wife, it would have issued you one.
Semper Fi ...
