First Steps

(Sorry, leider schreibe ich heute kein Deutsch. Ich habe keine Laune dafür.)


The other day, I went out walking in Hannover to take some photos. It was pretty freaking cold out. I came across a wedding party right after they came out of the courthouse, where the ceremony was performed. They walked out to steps covered in confetti and flower petals. I thought it was a great way to welcome a pair that had just stepped out of a building into a new life of togetherness. Pretty sweet.

It is weird to think that a 'simple' idea like marriage can mean such different things to everyone. To some its important and they want to be married, to some its not and they live their life with a partner and children but never are married. To some its a very serious thing, to some not. Some will only ever marry once out of principle, some will give it 3, 4, 5 or more tries. I think no matter what, its not an easy thing all the time. It was nice to see this couple welcomed by friends and family showing their support of the two. I have no idea who they are, but I wish them the best.
