Cowboy, Take Me Away!

McDaddy and I returned home from a glorious four-day weekend in Florida for my cousin’s beach wedding at Fort Myers, Florida.

I’ve been looking forward to this wedding for a number of months. Something I was not looking forward to however, was the stinkin’ heat because, hello?

It was approximately 129 degrees on the beach.

Or something like that.

The Lord smiled down on us and sent a wonderfully refreshing breeze much of the day.

It was a beautiful wedding. The bride was beautiful. The groom was beautiful. (Yes, I said beautiful!), The beach was beautiful. It was an all-around beautiful day.

From beginning to end.

I learned that a beach wedding is a beautiful event, even in the midst of 95 degree weather. I also learned that a constant breeze at a 95 degree beach wedding can make a huge difference in one’s comfort level.

Yes, the wedding was breath-taking.

Even sitting on the back row, one can easily hear the marriage vows over the roar of the ocean waves.

As you might imagine, a wedding party wearing cowboy/country-western attire, creates quite the stir on the beach.

When your ‘baby’ cousin repeats the words, “I ain’t ever gettin’ married” for the better part of 15 years, there is a pretty good chance that he’ll be eating his words when he meets the one.

Congratulations, Barbie and Ken George and Andrea!

Just look at those two.

Beautiful, I tell you. Just beautiful. I am already missing the beach. And the rest of our family who were staying a few more days. And the romance. And the excitement.
