I’m finally getting a chance to write about the wedding that we were at on Saturday. Now granted, I’ve never been to a barn wedding before and you can just about imagine how much I would like it right? Well, I didn’t just like it, I Loved everything about it! From the second that you drive into the farmyard and pass the old truck that’s there to great everyone, you know that this wedding was going to be something special. Daryl had to go to the wedding earlier because he was part of the musical group that was singing at the wedding, so I parked the car by the shed and headed inside the barn. As I walked inside, I was completely overwhelmed with awe. 
The chandeliers that were hung by rope and pulleys were glowing above your head and gave the ambiance that was perfect for any wedding. As the wedding ceremony was on way, the warm wood interior just glowed as the sun was shinning through the doors and window. It was a welcome sight from the rain that we had just hours ago. But because we did have a front go through, the weather also was cooled down and very comfortable. I don’t know how old the barn actually is, but they mentioned that the bride’s great grandfather ( I think this is right) built it. I did take some pictures, but I think I’m going to post the one from the photographer from the wedding. It shows the true feeling of the wedding.

And now what’s in store for this barn? Well, they said that they were going to cut hay this week and needed to get the crops back into the barn. And even though the building will soon be filled with the smell of hay in the loft, horses down below in their stalls, and little kitties running around in the hay piles, how I will remember this barn will be that of one Saturday afternoon a couple hundred people came together and was able to share the day and witness a beautiful wedding. Kinda cool.
Enjoyed your link from Gene so much that I read most of your blog posts… The comment that tickled me the most backhandedly defined “Country Living” ….. may need to get the dog a collar!
Dad grew up in the ‘burg and I spent a year or so there myself. Wish I could have attended the wedding so I must be content to just soak up everyone else’s pictures and stories. I have one question… Have “Barn Weddings” become the thing in the Mid West or is this extremely unique as well as well done?
Glad you enjoyed the posts Merlin! This was the first barn wedding that we’ve been to and I don’t think they are that common around our area. I think maybe that the barns are either still being used or maybe they are in need of repair. I’m sure you agree that it’s a great place to have a wedding though if you had a chance to check out the pictures from Gene.
