Yes they actually do. There's no good marriage that ends in divorce.

Interesting take on marriages! Wish you had shown their recent photo too so that we could see what Father Time has taken away!:) The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

Nice photo. Smiling couple good contrast.the background doesnt seem like it fits with the portrait. Thats why i held half star.Id have blurred out the background to draw more attention to the couple. Overall nice photo.

YOu're right. I tried blurring out the bg but it didn't turn out very well and I left it. Thanks

Comment from SCHATZLING
When I read the title, I became extremely sad. It has been a very emotional week for me and because I am extra sensitive, this to me seemed to be the icing on the cake...
LET ME START THIS REVIEW AGAIN, IF YOU PLEASE.....
WITHOUT THE TITLE, this photo would just be a photo; however, because you do have the title, it brings the full effect for this contest entry to fruition. It was once upon a time a happier moment....two individuals in love through sickness and health forever more....but forever more ended. There was a time when the forever became non existent...the time when the forever ended in their love...a overwhelming end to a forever union. Thanks for sharing. It is a good entry for this contest

I think this was your contest so I am glad that you appreciated what I was going for. Love that once was that is no more.
As Louis CK said: there is no good marriage that ends in divorce. So it's bittersweet. Paula

A very nice way to remember a half a life together. I do not much care for her hairdo which makes it look like she has Mr Spock ears.

Nice selection for the contest, but sad to look back on the day that was supposed to bring love, honor, devotion and happiness. It is a good photo of two lovely to look at people, happy at that moment.

Yes, thank you.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
My heart sank when I saw this photo and I was on my way to bed after posting "Have I told you lately that Iove you" photo, but just wanted to tell you that your picture yanked an emotion out of me. I am so sad that after 33 years this beautiful and handsome couple are no more. You look so happy, you look so good together.

The photo itself is well done, it has that nostalgic filter on in that makes it timeless. Timeless yes, but the love has ended.

Thank you for sharing your life with us, such a personal sharing and I am sorry you had to go through pain. It is like a death.

Thank you.

As Louis CK (comedian) says, There's no happy marriage that ends in divorce. It is sad but it's good to get on with the rest of my life and enjoy it as much as possible. Photography has saved my life going through this. Thanks for your friendship. Paula
