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.
Congrats to you and your bride! How wonderful. An intimate, back-yard wedding sounds lovely to me. Weddings are nice, but what really matters is the marriage. I wish you a very long, productive (kids, hint, hint) and peaceful relationship. Thanks for telling us about it and all the best.
I spoke witg my uncle today as we returned some things we borrowed. He said a lot of people could learn a thing ir two that spending money isn't necessary for a nice wedding.
That is so true! I know of people who spent a lot of money and later divorced. And I know of people who had very modest weddings and are still going strong decades later. The wedding day is very exciting and wonderful, but it's just one day in what will hopefully be a lifetime together. If you did it for financial reasons, you were smart. I bet there is better use for your money and you are still just as married as those who spent 30K!
Yup. I also think its a happy memory / piece of history to share with our 120+ year old home.
Oh, awesome! That house is so full of memories, and you two will be adding more. That's a really cool footnote to the story. And old house like that would be very cool to live in.
