Maria and Her Father Walk Down the Aisle

Maria was surrounded by family on her wedding day in more ways than one. Maria’s great grandmother, Grace, was a huge part of her and her family’s life—so much so that all the women in the family got a tattoo of the last two lyrics (“Forever More”) of a song she always used to sing. At the ceremony, the officiant mentioned the word “Grace” in passing, saying that this was a word to live by, and Maria says, “I knew she was with me that day.”
