Many asked for an update after the wedding if Trump did show up. He did not, and thinking through all the millions of scenarios for security reasons, i understand. I still had a beautiful backyard wedding and now have a beautiful like minded wife.

I had some interesting things happen that i could only take as a sign from God and those that are no longer with us of their presence so i feel enormously blessed.

Also doing a smallish wedding in your back yard is nice because we got to make all the rules and control things more, not depend on a businesses interpretation of our wants, so i highly recommend it. One little one that me and one of my groomsmen did was we wore our concealed carry pieces for the ceremony. It may seem silly to some, but to us it meant a lot and my wife even liked the idea because as she said, "Its you, I'd expect no less from you and this is the man im marrying."

So all in all, it was a beautiful event, i regret i did not get to watch Trumps speech in any part but we had so much going on and still have cleanup to do in the coming days. God bless you all for your wonderful well wishes previously.
