Now that life has settled down a bit since he was found cancer free, our son and fiance are tying the knot in August.
They been through a lot together.
Early on it was when our son was still working with doctors to find the right crohns treatment.
Several years later, the medicine that put crohns in remission is believed to have been the cause of Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Despite all that, he found the gym, and he found a church.
Most recent test results show he's still cancer free. Just had to get crohns under control again. But you would never know it if you saw him at the gym. šŸ˜„
We'll be back to NC for their wedding.
Lexington, NC.
Looking at Sophie's Cork and Ale for the rehearsal dinner. šŸ˜‰
 
Congrats to him
He need a florist?!?! haha (wife is one, had to ask)

Where is the wedding planned to be? I know we looked at a place in Lexington, Board and Batten, very nice...but not cheap up front (though works out really well in end)

Wedding is at their church.
Reception TBD. They are set on proving a wedding doesn't need two years of aggravation to plan.

Couple of months for ours. Church wedding. Immediate family and a few friends.

Reception was a rented room and kitchen. Ordered a few things but mostly was a pot luck kinda lunch. Simple and stress free
 
Ours was about 4 or 5 months of planning. Nothing wild, but not dang 2 years
 
Congrats and best wishes to your son and his soon to be bride.

Ya'll make me jealous sometimes. My wedding was ridiculous. About 225-250 people, a string quartet and 50 dollar plates. Mother in law wore a black dress to her daughter's funeral.....I mean wedding.

Dang. One of my brothers and his wife's wedding was around 300. Maybe more. Her father was retired from the DR consulate in Miami.
Huge crowd. I spent to minimum amount of time at the reception needed then went up to my hotel room.
 
My first thought when I read the title was "On purpose?"
 
My daughter and son in law got married in our backyard with just close family, and a few friends and her dachshund.

Town Dog Warden officiated. Reese, the dachshund was the ring bearer. My daughter and s-i-l wore blowup dinosaur costumes.

We had a cookout afterwards.

She still hopes to have a "real" wedding with their friends attending, but two years later, she's expecting #2.
 
As expected, the one brother who now suffers from political agoraphobia (also known as Trump Derangement Syndrome) has declined the invitation to the wedding.
However, to avoid taking ownership of that decision he has claimed he would come if he was assured there would be no guns at the wedding.
Ha! That's like requesting a promise that no meat be served at the wedding so the one vegan in the family will attend.
Heck, the pastor officiating the ceremony will probably be carrying.
My son could opt to tell his uncle that there would be no guns without telling anyone else. But our son won't lie.

Lol. I officiated the wedding today of a family friend. His mother told me to wear a ā€œpearl handled .45 Colt.ā€ I told her I didnā€™t have one with pearl handles, but I did have ivory. ā€œThatā€™ll be fine.ā€ I had a basket stamped Simply Rugged holster with accents of some fancy hide I canā€™t remember the name of. So, I carried the 1911 in that.

Several people commented positively on a preacher carrying a pistol. Funny thing is, the commenters were mostly older women, one of whom proudly proclaimed she had her CHP and she felt very safe knowing I was packing. Lol

Anywho, maybe you should make some of the wedding party open carry, for the safety of your brother. Maybe the preacher will even oblige! :D

Note: the scuffs in the ivory are from the first time I took that gun camping. I rolled the four wheeler I was riding to the campsite in West Virginia, back around 2012. Made me sick, as the ivory came from a dear friend. When he saw the grips later, he thought it was very cool and told me not to try to polish the scuffs out. He told me, ā€œThink of those grips in 30 years - you will proudly tell the story of how they got those scuffs.ā€


I shot a grouse with that gun on another camping trip and we ate it that night. The same friend stuffed and cooked the bird. Yum.

Agree to no guns.

Then when the whollleeee party get together and takes the last picture, everyone show them off.
 
How about firing a cannon to celebrate the marriage?
