A photo of a bride crying on her wedding day has gone viral, but the story behind the photo is what's really beautiful.

Before he married Maggie, Caleb wanted to pray with her.  But, keeping with tradition of not seeing the bride before the wedding, arrangements were made for the couple to meet at the external corner of a room, outstretch their arms and hold hands, without seeing each other, and pray for God's will in their lives.

Caleb prayed.  Maggie cried.  Dwayne, the photographer, got one of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen.

"I have photographed a lot of weddings. This has to be one of the best things I have ever got to see much less photograph. Before the ceremony and before they saw each other Caleb said a prayer for their marriage and lives. AWESOME!!!" Dwayne Schmidt wrote on Facebook.

Caleb, a Marine, is stationed in Camp Lejeune, according to the Lansing State Journal.
