After writing about agrarian weddings I really didn’t think this wedding would qualify (remember?) but after evaluating the whole thing I think I can hold up my head proudly among my agrarian readers and say what could be more agrarian than the backdrop of corn behind the groomsmen in the picture below? (In the last post)

We even had little Amish fellows running around.

I am sure that most of the wedding guests were beginning to wonder if they were on their way to a still.

AND we had the [1] Ridgewood Boys in all their glory at the rehearsal dinner !! I can’t begin to tell you how much their music enhanced the dinner. Truly that was a great blessing from the Lord.

But even without the corn, the bluegrass music, the little boys in white, the barn, the river, and most especially the wonderful homemade food, this wedding qualified as agrarian because of the vast members of our community of friends and family who helped put it together. Towards the end many Aarons and Miriams appeared from nowhere to hold up the weary. I was amazed watching that unfold.

Joe, Karen, Emma and Hannah put on a wedding where everyone was comfortable and relaxed and I think that qualifies as an agrarian ideal.

It was a wonderful day of fellowship with old friends and old, old friends and new friends and family coming together to celebrate.

It was meaningful to me to visit with [2] famous (former?) [3] bloggers and [4] lovely all-grown-up homeschooled ladies.
I got to visit with my roommate from college and people I only knew through the Internet.

Valerie, in her kindness took millions of pictures for me. We were given lodging and meals by our friends the Larsons until it became an embarrassment of riches. My mom and my sister took charge and did a wonderful job at the rehearsal dinner, which was good because I was the last person to arrive there.

Y’all don’t have to keep commenting as I begin to put up pictures. I don’t want to wear you out I have quite a few pictures now and I am waiting on more. I will post the best here and maybe link to a photo album for the die hards.
