216--Virginia: Kristi & Brian's Big Day @ CherieSpotting     Jun 02 2004 - 14:34 PST cherie writes: It is said that lovers don't just meet somewhere; they are in each other all along, and that the very reason we exist is to love and be loved. It has also been said that when we look back on our lives, we find that those things we did in the spirit of love represent the moments we were truly alive. Love is a gift, and a wedding is the celebration of that gift. Kristi and Brian got married on May 30, 2004. It was a precious ceremony (I personally know the minister) at the charming Inn at Burwell Place. About 130 family and friends gathered to watch the lovers say "I do." Virginia is the perfect state for weddings--the state motto is: "Virginia is for lovers." Here are the photos of Kristi preparing for her big day!
