Lawful Marriage ~ A Tale of Two Wives

[Goofyluver]

Congrats Ladies!
What no more pictures?? I was really enjoying this Trip Report.
Wedding Report?
Well, no matter, I enjoy both...

Well, since ya' asked...

We honeymooned in DC for a few days after we wed and it was amazing. Neither of us had ever been.

One of our favorite things was a night tour that took us around the city. It would have only been better had it been cooler than the temperature of the surface of the sun while we were there, but nonetheless...

The Capital:

The Washington Monument:

The White House...we tried to spy Obama in the window but they said he wasn't home...

The WWII Memorial:

Mr. Lincoln:

My favorite was the Jefferson Memorial:

And the Vietnam Memorial was very moving, and beautiful at night.

The Vietnam Memorial brings me to tears every time. It's just so big...too big.

It was incredibly sad. And we learned something with our guide. Most names of soldiers are introduced by diamonds. Those soldiers whose names are introduced by crosses have never been found. If and when a soldier's body is recovered, their diamond is "filled in".

Wow! Those are great pictures Jen and what a unique setting for a marriage. It's pretty damn cool and it's something you will always remember.

Once again, I can't express how happy I am for you both. I wish I could have been in WDW around the sametime and hooked up with both of you. I would have loved to met you both at my favorite bar in all of WDW, the barefoot pool bar at the Polynesian and bought you two some of these.

Thanks for your kindness, my friend.

And, you know us by now. We don't ever turn down a drink. Next time we're all there, we're takin' you up on your offer.

After we finish at the Poly, you can follow us to La Cava for a margarita or a tequila flight.

Those are fantastic pictures!!

The Vietnam Memorial looks so moving - both of my grandfathers are veterans & my brother is in the Army; anything military & I become a blubbering mess.

Congrats to you both! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for that dining report. I have it stuck in my head that "Uncle Remus" is going to look like that evil lady from Pete's Dragon, and I really need to prove myself wrong!!!! I hope you have many years of happiness awaiting you!!!!!

 

[AnnaS]

Congratulations to both of you! Great pictures too - love them all!!

 

[indimom]

Yeah, more pictures!!
It's been years since I've been to DC. Your pictures bring it all back.
Think I'll have to hit up DH for a trip there sometime.

 

[Uncle Remus]

Ahem, someone forgot to post the Korean War Memorial pics:

And this one from the Viet Nam Memorial which is placed to overlook the Wall previously posted:

It was very moving. There were people there that were crying, when I visited.

I think DC in general is a great place to visit. There is so much to see there.

 

[The Orchid]

OMGosh, that is wonderful news! I'm so very happy for you both. You deserve much happiness. Congratulations!

I think it's just that the emotion there is always so raw. The other memorials are moving, but to see people making rubbings of a loved one's name or placing flowers or photos...oh, it just gets me. The first time I went I just bawled.

I lived in DC for a few years...it's a fascinating city, unless you're driving

We loved the city! I wasn't expecting to, but I don't think I realized how absolutely beautiful the architecture would be, or how each neighborhood would be so different from the next and how all of them are filled with different character.

Here's a few more DC shots:

We found this mural down in the Adams-Morgan district:

Walking down towards Dupont Circle we saw this:

The fountain at Dupont Circle:

Someone got married shortly before the Pride Parade and we got to watch:

And a few more of my favorite neighborhood shots:

We want to go back when we can walk around without fainting from the heat.

OMGosh, that is wonderful news! I'm so very happy for you both. You deserve much happiness. Congratulations!

Does that sig ticker say 114 days til your honeymoon at Disneyland, let me say congratulations right now 'n I'll do it again later.

And thank you, good to see you again.

 

[Uncle Remus]

Here's somethin' we ran across on our walk to DuPont Circle on Connecticut Ave:

It's a small sittin' area memorializin' his service.

A little late to the party... Congrats on the marriage!!!

 

[Hollywoodhaha]
