Moscow, Russia – 09/09 Love is in the air

(Michelle) We have been in Russia less than a week, but already we have seen about 15 wedding parties wondering around town. In St. Petersburg we saw 5 in one day and it was a Wednesday! I managed to capture 3 couples on film. We learned later from our friends in Tomsk that it is traditional to take wedding photos at all the famous sites in your town. We even saw a wedding couple getting their photo taken at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Kremlin… If we have the option of a photo by the tomb of the Unknown Soldier for our wedding album, I will probably take a pass on that one.

(TJ) I’m vetoing the pass by Michelle, if there are any Unknown Soldier graves or perhaps sacrificial sites by where we get married, we are getting our pictures taken there.
