Its not only the reflection of a bride, its a reflection of her memories when she was bride.

Thanks for all the heartfelt comments. I am the woman in the picture. It was a rough year to be diagnosed with breast cancer and undergo chemotherapy right before my beautiful daughter's wedding. When I was getting ready with the girls in the wedding and they were all there watching me it was just very emotional. I am doing great now and living every day to the fullest and I am thankful for each one.

Cheese - Thia looks like a mother with cancer and her daughter (the bride). My guess, given their tears, is the mother's cancer is terminal.

NEVER, EVER say ANYONE is TERMINAL!!! The lady in the picture just now commented up there. It's the very first one....Read It!! Secondly, the only people who are allowed to say terminal is the doctor, the patient, and the patient's loved ones maybe. YOU should NEVER make that kind of judgment call. That was a very rude, heartless comment. There are people who, once they hear that word they give up, and then there are the fighters. And this lovely lady is a fighter. I am very proud of her, and I am thrilled that she is now enjoying life each and every day. SHE IS AWESOME!!!!

Most likely the mother has undergone chemotherapy due to cancer. One result of the treatment is hair loss. You can see the mother has also lost her eyebrows and they have been drawn on, it's difficult to tell if these are happy tears or sad ones...given the image I would imagine they are sad tears and the mother does not have a good prognosis.

Nancy Smith, having been where you are, nobody understood that for me, losing my hair was the worst part - the rest I could deal with! Allowing this picture to be shared with the world was brave and so inspiring! Well done to you my bosum buddy xx

These are wedding pictures that show the true emotion of the day and sometimes the oddest pictures are ones are the best. MANY years ago (about 45 actually) my mother was Matron of Honor in best friend's wedding. I was 10 years old. The wedding was a simple, country wedding. Our family had a small instamatic camera at the time. Before we arrived at the church my mom gave the cameta to me and said "take pictures". This was the first wedding I had ever attended. I hung back in the foyer of the church after everyone else entered. I don't think my dad knew where I was. He was probably too busy keeping my 4 year old brother under control. When the music began the bride started up the aisle. Every other person is in the church. I quickly take a picture of the bride walking in before joining my dad. She later said it was a favorite picture. It was the ONLY picture of the back of her dress and the long beautiful veil, the photographer never took one. We still have a copy today.

This picture reminds me of saying - A person is judged by who he remembers when he/she is most happy, not when he is sad or in agony.

I cried at a wedding too. I was Best Man for my friend Steve. Why did I cry? Because my own marriage had disintegrated, and my optimism dashed. Yet I was there for them. (They're still together.)

Time does not fade the classics. She may have wrinkles on her face, but her dress is perfect. True beauty is in elegance.

i like this, but it's a bit too high on the composition... would be just as effective if they dropped the point of interest down a couple inches
