Praying Before the Ceremony

“One of my favorite moments was praying with Doug before the ceremony,” Samantha says. “I wanted to stick with the traditional way of not seeing one another beforehand, so we used those beautiful wooden doors and stood on opposite sides. I was so nervous he would somehow see me, but we had some wonderful people in our wedding party who made sure Doug didn't get a sneak peak. It was such an emotional moment.”
