Wedding season is coming to a close, it’s time to put away our party dresses, sober up and start replenishing our savings accounts for next summer’s ceremonies.
To punctuate the closing of the season, (or just because he/ she felt like it), redditor sexydeathtime posted a link to an Imgur page of “first look” pictures.
If you’re not a wedding veteran, the “first look” is that heart-melting moment when the groom and bride (or groom and groom, or bride and bride) see each other for the first time, sometimes in a private, picturesque setting, sometimes as the bride walks down the aisle. It’s like, the most adorable moment of the entire wedding (IMHO), especially when the groom spontaneously combusts into tears.
Here are 24 first looks below. ‘Til next season.

[...] There is more to being pretty than having perfect teeth, perfect double eyelids, big eyes, milky white skin. Have you seen the most average of people simply shining through because of their personalities? Because of their happy smiles? I love it when photographs capture people who are genuinely happy, and you feel that they look so very beautiful simply because their happiness feels so real.
