This is a story about how love can overcome any obstacle, even war. A couple from Ukraine chose to get married in the midst of the war going on in their home country. They chose an elopement over a traditional wedding because of the events taking place at home.

This wedding made me think of my travels to places with ancient history. The couple made me think of the legends and myths of the ancient world. I felt honored to be a part of this event and I could feel the love and happiness radiating from the couple the whole time.

I was nervous before this elopement, even though I knew everything would go as planned. Seeing the tears of joy in H's eyes, I was happy that I became more than just a witness to a momentous occasion.
