A Farmers Market filled with flowers, watermelon, peaches, corn, honey, and strawberries picked fresh from the fields (some with a little fuzz, lol). A fully restored 1955 Chevrolet PickUp Truck. A wedding cake. A quiet table for two tucked away behind the barn. A picnic blanket laid out under a grouping of chandeliers at sunset. Just some of the things found at the wedding photography workshop I was lucky enough to attend right here in Warrenton, VA at The Black Horse Inn. Organized by Terra Chandler of Terra Dawn Photography and let me tell you she went all out! She did not miss a thing! I had a great time & met some awesome photographers. Thank you Terra, can’t wait for the next one girl! and Thank you Abby & Matt for being such gorgeous models!

Tying the Knot

WOW! It has been weekend after weekend of rain for our weddings. Fortunately, we have wonderful brides with great attitudes, and several different contingency plans to offer them for the inclement weather.

Next time you say you are "tying the knot," perhaps you will have more of an appreciation as to what that actually means. Inclement weather the day of your wedding is a sure sign of good luck. The reason for this goes back to the 14th century, when the groom would wear a tunic with a rope "belt." The rope was tied in a knot. When the rope got wet, it was impossible to untie the knot! Thus comes the saying "tie the knot." It was a surefire sign for a strong and grounded marriage!

During the Roman Empire times, the Bride wore a girdle that was tied in knots. Before the couple consummated the marriage, the Groom would untie the knots on the girdle in order to undress his new Bride. So then, wouldn't it be called "untying the knot?" Im confused. Just a little tidbit I thought you would find interesting!
