One of A Kind Wedding

 One of A Kind Wedding

I finally got a chance to drop in to this thread and tell you all about the wedding we attended a couple of weekends ago. The invite said 'Very Casual' and I just wore cotton pants and a nice warm sweater. We sat in lawn chairs in front of the house (a log cabin they built themselves) most of us with some kind of booze in our hand that was graciously supplied by them. The front porch adorned with all kinds of flowers and planters most from guests as a wedding gift.

Around the corner they came, after someone cued up the wedding march on the c.d. player, both of them decked out in a brand new pair of bib overalls! His black with a white shirt, hers tan with a long sleeved tan shirt. 

The vows were their own and were short and sweet. It started with "My wish is to...share the good times and the bad....My wish is to... wake next to you every morning for the rest of our lives...and so on, to end with "My wish is to...spend the rest of our lives growing old together" It was beautiful

Then we were off to the back of the house with a view of the Black River where the smells of pork, ham and roast beef, grillin' in the homemade spit, filled the air. I am not a big meat eater but those roasts were every bit as good as they smelled and maybe better! We helped ourselves, on paper plates from tables set up in the garage/workshop, to buns and potato and macaroni salads and pickles. The dessert table was filled with homemade blueberry, rhubarb, apple, cherry and PECAN pies!! yummmmmmmm....not to mention at least 20 different kinds of squares and cookies and butter tarts.

After they cut the wedding cake, they served a piece to everyone while some of the men in the crowd tried their darndest to get the huge bonfire going. Once dark set in, the fireworks started and they went on for at least an hour while we all sat around the bonfire enjoying the heat. Music was piped from someone's car stereo.

We had a wonderful evening and it was a once in a lifetime experience I am sure!!
