I just love how the bride and groom display the innocence of children in this photo that oozes summer wedding. Newlyweds are definitely full of love, hope, and optimism. Olympic snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler seems to be floating on a cloud of happiness. Being at the beach -- the fountain of youth -- makes the photo all the more perfect. The image is romantic and lovely and exactly how the summer should be.

Flights of happiness! How cool to have a beach wedding…. And can you imagine how stunning it would be to have acrobatic kites flying and swooping as part of the after-wedding celebration? Much better than birdseed or rice!! ;)

Ltt’shope they maintain their precious innocence but use the judgement of adults in their marriage :) It’s a beautiful picture, with the dress billowing out like that and on the beach.
