An Iconic Same-Sex Love Story and Fairy Tale Wedding atop the Charles Bridge in Prague

Kimberly (L) and Jules (R) are two warm-hearted souls, brimming with life and undeniably in love. Despite calling sunny California home, Kimberly harbored a dream to return to her ancestral roots and marry in Prague. Jules, ever supportive and loving, was eager to make this dream a reality, leading them both to embark on this journey to the heart of Europe.

Kimberly had a unique vision: to exchange their vows on the historic Charles Bridge, right in the center of Prague. The task of orchestrating this fairy-tale ceremony fell to Thelma Ward, celebrated as one of the best wedding planners in the city. Remarkably, the city granted official permission for such an event.

On a warm, cloudy day, the melody of a lone violinist guided the radiant bride, Kimberly, and her beaming mother through the crowd on the Charles Bridge, where Jules, teary-eyed with emotion, awaited. The joy on their faces as they met under the watchful eyes of the bridge's historic statues was a sight to behold. The ceremony not only captivated the couple but also delighted the many onlookers who captured the moment with their cameras, celebrating this unique union.

Here's a small photo reportage of that unforgettable day - where love transcended time and place, allowing two people to live out their dream and experience the best of what Prague offers. For Kimberly, this was more than just a wedding; it was the joyous closure of a long-broken familial circle, reuniting her with the land of her forebears.
