I couldn&#8217;t be happier for Abra &amp; Mark&#8211; they so obviously delight one another (you should hear the way he makes her laugh, it&#8217;s fantastic!) and I loved seeing that joy and peace they seem to bring to each others&#8217; lives.\u00a0 Congratulations to this fabulous couple!<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><img id=\"pp-lightbox-1418129207\" class=\"pp-lightbox-placeholder pp-gallery-placeholder lightbox-1418129207 mceItem\" style=\"display: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sarahtewphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/p4\/placeholders\/lightbox-placeholder-1418129207.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><strong><br \/>\n<iframe src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/114041908?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=ffffff\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/strong><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/114041908\">The Wedding of Mark &amp;
