On my walking route, I sometimes see a couple having taken their wedding photos on the beach. Today, despite the freezing temperature (by my born-in-Kyushu, 40-something standard), I found a happy young couple in a wedding photo session.

The bride was smiling with bare shoulder (remember, it is mid-winter now) while I was completely covered in arctic clothes.

Being young is wonderful! 

And they will be able to get through every hardship they might come across in their future as long as they remember the penance they shared today, I believe.
