Red for Beautiful
... your in the right spot by how many brides you see in their big white dresses.
It seems the tradition in Russia is to have your wedding photos at many locations, and the party just moves around the sights. Included in these sights is the WWII war memorials. I was standing at the one by the Kremlin waiting for the changing of the guard ( see silly walk photo), when I felt something rubbing my leg. It turned out to be a bride ...
