A lesbian whose religious parents refused to come to her wedding has instead received support from tens of thousands of internet users after posting beautiful photographs of the day online.

Meredeith Hendrix, a 25-year-old grad student, married girlfriend Kat Jackson, also 25, in Arkansas in October, witnessed by friends and family - although her parents had refused the invitation.
After the wedding, which she called the 'best day of my life', Hendrix-Jackson shared some of her gorgeous wedding photographs on Tumblr - and received an overwhelming response.

She wrote beneath the images: 'In case you are a fan of same sex unions, weddings in general, or are just really itching to know what I look like (or my wife, as I haven’t posted a picture of her yet [she’s the adorable one in the suspenders]).'
The photographs, taken by photographer Megan Burges, fast became an internet hit, amassing more than 10,000 'notes' - including likes, shares and comments - on Tumblr.

They show the happy couple getting ready for the day - Hendrix in a beautiful white lace gown, Jackson in pants, a shirt, bow-tie and suspenders - before walking down the aisle.
At the end of the aisle, they remove scarves covering their eyes and gasp as they see each other for the first time.
