One of my best friends got married on June 26 and I am so glad that Josh and I were able to attend! Over ten years ago when we first moved to our farm, I started riding horses with 1 of 5 brothers that lived across the highway from us. Soon it became 2 of 5 brothers. They were both older than me, but only by 1 year and 3 years.
I mostly hung out with Chris. He was 15 and I was 14. We rode horses almost everyday. When I ride horses now throughout the summer, I don't understand how I rode in the dead of summer like I use to! I would switch out horses two or three times a day, but still it is SO hot!!
Chris and I continued hanging out with over the next five years and got a new sidekick through it, Ben. All three of us always had a good time! Riding horses, riding four-wheelers, and even hunting pigs in their hay fields.
But, we all grew up and moved away to go to school and Chris was a missionary in Texas for the past 3 years. Chris called me around Christmas and told me that he had proposed to Crystal and I was so excited!
So Josh and I went to their wedding a couple weekends ago! It was gorgeous! I love the Tuscan Building that the family built. It's still in progress, but when they finish it I know it will be amazing. They are going to start offering it as a place for people to get married and have a reception. There is a beautiful garden there with the perfect place to have the ceremony.
There is Ben in the best man's spot!

Instead of unity candle, they did the sand. I though this was really cool! They talked about how the two different colors of sand could never be put back in their original jars, that they were bound together forever.
