The wedding party arrives. The bride and groom, Amy and Gary, and the Judge who officiated at the wedding, rode in on their horses. How many weddings have you seen where this occurred?
I led the bride's horse into the arena where the wedding was to be held and Amy's goddaughter led Gary's horse in.
Now, here is something a bit difficult. Can you imagine the bride in a white wedding gown getting on and off the horse? There was a bit of a problem because the gown got caught on the saddle horn.
They both got off their horses and at the right, the Judge is beginning the proceedings.
We need rings. Gary says, "Come Guinness," and the big black great Dane comes trotting up with the rings. How often have you seen a ring-bearer like this?
They exchanged rings as Guinness stood patiently by.
The bride and groom have the first dance together.
There was plenty of dancing. Most people kept dancing into the wee hours.
At the right, Shirley, mother of the bride, dances with her son, Jef, brother of the bride.
The food was pretty much normal, and there was plenty of it.
And, of course, there was the traditional wedding cake.
While people were waiting for the festivities to begin, they could prove their prowess by using the lariat to rope the steer.
And there was plenty of great western music to give the evening a special flavor.

That is brother Jef at the right, with his wife Karen, and Arleta.
And Arleta and I enjoyed the wedding out here in this beautiful open countryside.
Sitting around the table, enjoying the food and the good company. Laura, sister of the bride, Zach, nephew of the bride, Mark, brother of the bride, Karen, sister in law of the bride, Jef, brother of the bride, and Arleta. It has been an important part of our lives, to be able to be a part of this wonderful family.
