Happy Valentine's Day! What a great day. After snow blanketed the DC metropolitan area Thursday February 13 closing local and federal governments and schools, the sun was absolutely brilliant today. The temperature reached 52 and the snow became slush. I officiated a wedding today at Seasons 52 located at Tysons Corner Mall. The staff was professional and supportive as the couple announced that yes they had reservations, but they planned to marry first. We stood by the gas fireplace surrounded by the the groom's sister and brother-in-law. The bride shared that she and her groom had a relaxing morning before readying themselves for their wedding day. Separately I always ask the bride and groom what they most admire about their partner. Dennis shared he admired Gay's strength; and she admires his determination. I worked these qualities into the ceremony and stressed that with emotional and intellectual strength; and determination, they could surmount whatever life threw at them as they navigate their way through marriage. After I pronounced the couple husband and wife, the staff applauded as did passersby. Major kudos to Seasons 52! They presented the couple with signature wine glasses, a $100 gift card to the restaurant and a framed photo taken during the ceremony.
