Our “ceremony” consisted of going down to the local courthouse and having a judge marry us. The passage the judge used was really neat and I wish that I could remember it, but you know how the mind works sometimes - you can remember all sorts of details but the ones you really want to remember. We were planning on having a ceremony with our friends and family, but decided to go the cheaper, faster route. A year or so later we got to talking and decided that we would like some memories of our plunge and wanted our family and friends to be a part of it and Brad really wanted me to have my dad walk me down the aisle. He feels that this is something every girl wants and dreams of and he wanted to give that to me. (I told you he was pretty amazing. He he ) So, after talking about it some more we are going to renew our vows this summer. It’s going to be a small ceremony with his parents, my parents, our siblings and a few close friends. We are going with a more informal wedding, comfortable but nice and the colors are black and a berry color – almost a purplish maroon. Brad will be in a black tux jacket and white shirt, with black wranglers and I will be wearing this gown.
The girls will be in a dress handmade by my mother in law, and the guys will be in wrangler shirts and black wranglers. (The dresses and the shirts will match).
Afterwards we are going Hillbillie and havin’ ourselves a good ol fashion bbq! :o) We will have the bbq at the park so the kids can run around and play on the equipment and we can all play some baseball. It should be a good time if the weather holds out – this is Kansas after all. I plan on getting a bunch of the little disposable cameras and letting everyone take pictures throughout the day (Brad’s dad will take the nicer photos).
I think it will be fun and we will definitely get our memories!
