They both wanted to do the right thing, the righteous thing, and get married before living together. Hallelujah! What a wonderful honor it was to be there and document their commitment before their family and before God. The wind started it as soon as I got out of the car. Tears ran down my face until I got back in the shelter of the car, but I added my own tears into the mix of the day and my heart lifted up in thanksgiving and joy with Mallory and Mark. May the Lord richly bless your marriage as you seek to honor Him together!<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"lightbox[markmallory]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_3655ps-1.jpg\" title=\" The dunes were beautiful!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_3655ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" The dunes were beautiful!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[markmallory]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_3660ps-1.jpg\" title=\" The light that day made the colors so vivid!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_3660ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" The light that day made the colors so vivid!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[markmallory]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_3672ps-1.jpg\" title=\" guys pinning guys\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_3672ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" guys pinning guys\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[markmallory]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_3705ps-1.jpg\" title=\" the bride!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_3705ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" the bride!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[markmallory]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_3717ps-1.jpg\" title=\" I loved this angle for her with the light behind her\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_3717ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" I loved this angle for her with the light behind her\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[markmallory]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_3723ps-1.jpg\" title=\" but her dad really wanted the ocean behind her in one too.
