An outdoor wedding ceremony beside a lake with a bride, groom, priest, and guests.

A hyper-realistic portrait of an outdoor wedding ceremony in rural Minnesota during springtime, set beside a calm lake with a lush forest of tall trees behind a simple white wooden lattice altar. Cherry blossoms and blooming flowers decorate the scene, with soft petals scattered on the grass. White wooden chairs with lace detailing line both sides of the aisle, filled with white guests of various ages—families with children—all with a mix of Irish, German, and Norwegian features. The bride stands at the altar: a husky but graceful midwestern white woman in her 20s, 5'6" tall and about 180 lbs, with bleached blonde hair showing streaks of darker blond underneath. Her wedding gown is solid eggshell-white silk, minimal lace, adorned with small gemstones and sequins. She wears brown leather knee-high boots and a standard veil with a bit more lace. She holds a floral bouquet of pale pink peonies and hot pink dahlias, accented with lemon thyme. Next to her is the groom, a slim Irish-German man in his late 20s, 5'10", 160 lbs, with short, mildly curly dark blond hair and wire-rimmed glasses. He wears a blue and white plaid short-sleeve collared shirt, khaki pants, and black leather dress shoes. An elderly Catholic priest in a black suit with a clerical collar stands at a white wooden pulpit, reading from a Bible. Above the altar, two blue jays soar gently in the humid spring air. The scene is intimate, joyful, and full of pride as the couple finally weds after ten years together. See more
