Texas Country Wedding

Posted May 8th, 2009 by Conrad

This past weekend my new friend Elizabeth invited me to a wedding with her as her guest. She was in the bridal party and she hadn’t invited anyone so at the last minute (11pm the night before the wedding) she called me up and invited me. I had nothing better to do so I went.

The wedding was at an big old house near Buna, Texas. For those of you that know where that is, it was more middle-of-nowhere than Buna. The event was nice. Small, quiet and short. The venue was beautiful especially this time of year when it’s warm but not to warm, and there aren’t many mosquitoes. I even had a little adventure when I got pulled over by the police on my way back. Fortuneately I hadn’t been drinking.

Anyway, here are some of the pictures:

    Was the wedding very different from what you might expect in other parts of the country? Was it totally western or hillbilly-ish? Was there rodeo-cool beer? Details! We want details!

    Nothing wildly different. There was one guy there that looked like a cowboy, and whose accent I couldn’t understand. Other than that, nothing was really different.

    Conrad…….

    Having been to nuptials in remote parts of these United States of America…I can say with some clarity that this was not all that *in the middle of nowhere….

    First….it appears that the liquor was store-bought. This is a key to knowing that you are at a gathering far from civilization.

    Second….everyone appears completely dressed. There are no men shirtless in the crowd.

    Third….There was a formal name for the town they were in….not a name based on some geographic feature….”over there on Gap Creek”.

    Looks like it was fun and your date was cute….these are all bonuses.

    How many people called you a Yankee?

    @Buffalo: Haha, I love it. Perhaps you are right. It’s just when I saw booger, I started wondering if this would be like the wedding from Beverly Hill Hillbillies. How many people called me a Yankee? Of the people I talked to, more than half. They all got a kick out of it when I tried to two step.

    If you want, come to Dixiecon and I will teach you how to two-step better . . . :mrgreen:

    I will see you at Dixie, but I don’t think doing dance lessons would go over well with that crowd.

    aww nice Conrad, I like how you added how long I waited to get a date :wink:

    And yes, Conrad needs dancing lessons lol, but not on a public dance floor where other couples are trying to dance, it could be hazardous to the other couples :wink: I did lose 1/2 a toenail that night
