Love and Confetti

Love and Confetti, photo by Shannon Finney

Along with the Redskins vs. Cowboys match-up this past Sunday, the DMV (that's the Washington, DC metropolitan area) was host to another event which makes thousands of fans cheer - the Washington Bridal Showcase! Despite a soggy Sunday morning start, more than one thousand brides came out to the bridal showcase bringing their energy, their ideas, and their overflowing wedding binders! It's like we all decided that no one was going to rain on our parade, which brings me to the above photo which I shot on the occasion of a wedding. Their's was a story of love found, lost, and then found again. They planned their wedding for months, and every detail was well-thought out, save for the weather. The dark clouds rolled in on the eve of their nuptuals, and by their wedding day, sheets of rain pounded the streets of Alexandria. But the bride and groom were all smiles and laughter and tears of joy because they knew that rain is just weather, and that on our best days, love and confetti are all that you need:)
