Is this really as bad as people on Facebook were making it? This picture was posted over the weekend and negative comments seemed to flood right in.

The photo shows the couple, Marine Corps Corporal Caleb Earwood and his soon-to-be wife Maggie, praying together before the ceremony all while trying to follow the golden rule of not seeing each other before the actual wedding.

I have photographed alot of weddings. This has to be one of the best things i have ever got to see much less...

One guy was ticked:

You do realize that Memorial Day is to honor the fallen soldiers and not a wedding, right?

Given that, this is not the perfect image for Memorial Day.”

One guy took it kind of personal:

My brother was a Marine and dying from it now…Where was their parade, help, thank you when they came back from Vietnam? Nowhere. All he got when he got off the plane in the airport was spit on and called names. He’s hooked up to a machine; he’s never had a ‘thank you’ except from family. Wow, a wedding — it’s supposed to be for the ones that are gone…”

Then the bride's mother chimed in

…if you had been in that room when Caleb and Maggie prayed you would have felt God in a mighty way!! This was not just a picture. This was real.”

What do you think?
