Okay, so there's at least one thing I like about living in the D.C. area: Cherry blossoms in springtime! Walking around the tidal basin under the cherry trees in bloom is so peaceful, even when it's crowded. The trees have such a calming effect on everyone.And did you know you can get married under the cherry blossoms? According to the National Cherry Blossom Festival website:
Please call (202) 619-7225 and ask the Office of Park Programs/Permits Office to fax you a Public Gathering Permit application. The rule is that groups of people over 25 persons are required to have a permit. You will need to fill it out and fax it back to them at (202) 401-2430. This office will help you find a location for your event so that it does not interfere with other groups who already would have a permit.
If I weren't already married I may seriously consider this. Wouldn't it be beautiful and memorable?

Oh man, I'd been hoping to get married under cherry blossoms (imagine those delicate pink petals falling around you like snow as you take your vows...!). But I went to the festival this year, and there were way too many people around for the festival! I want my wedding to be peaceful and quiet... :-(
