wedding

There's so much that could be said about this photograph, winner of the World Press Photo prize for portraiture. The expressions on the couple's faces; the distinct ways in which they hold themselves. And then there's the caption...

"Wounded US Marine returns home from Iraq to marry"via Interbreeding.

[Update: More, from Majikthise, including links to the full gallery of pictures, and the comment "The groom's ambiguous expression is a metaphor for the all the ways that war changes people. [. . .] Maybe the Marine is literally a different person than his finacee agreed to marry."]
