This War Veteran's Tennessee Wedding Is Achingly Beautiful

An elegant ceremony at a barn nestled in the secluded trees of Tennessee sounds like an engaged couple's dream. But there was another, more important reason pair John and Brittany's ceremony was as special as it gets.

"So young and already missing his two legs from war, John's love for his bride Brittany is whole," photographer Whitney Fletcher said. "There's no doubt Brittany has unconditional love for John. Most of the groomsmen are missing limbs as well. Their service to our country is overwhelming. A lonely plate setting for their fallen friend sits at the wedding. However, not one person at this wedding is sad, angry, or bitter. It was a day of laughter, love, and respect."

We can't thank our veterans enough for all they do to protect the nation, and we couldn't be happier for John and Brittany. See the beautiful and touching photos ahead, and check out more real weddings here.
