I didn&rsquo;t know beforehand, but some members of the family didn&rsquo;t RSVP because they didn&rsquo;t support the marriage. On the day of, they decided to come last minute and even participated although they were pretty quiet and reserved for the most part. Some of my last photos of the night during the dance party were of the family embracing their bride and crying with their now married daughter.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The peacefulness and acceptance will forever stay with me. The power of that moment was tangible, and I don&rsquo;t think there was anyone in that room not crying. When the song ended, they danced with their daughter&rsquo;s new wife. The happiness showed as they held the woman who loved their little girl, I just can&rsquo;t put into words.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><em>The
