There`s a power which comes from being in the middle of your friends and relations and family members one of the largest times of your daily life, which energy is written everywhere in the giant smiles on Kennis Hawkins andAndros Zins-Browne’s faces of these Washingtonian-Magazine-Real-Weddings. The reality that this wedding was set at the bride’s house in Maryland just makes it that much sweeter, creating new memories about the same patches of earth where her family members have built your life, spreading joy like rays of sunshine for the lush farmland.

An alluring couples’ dance led Kennis in the arms of Andros in their first meeting. The 2 were paired throughout an art exhibition in Kassel, Germany, selected to perform a dance piece featuring about 40 other participants. “Well, this can be awkward,” both thought on their first day's rehearsal, simply because although they didn’t know the other person yet, there is strong mutual attraction. Luckily, smooth moves and love quickly ensued, as well as the duo spent the next nine months falling deeply in love.
