Western Wedding

[auchlisa]

We are having a western wedding and have the reception planned completely decked out with western decorations we will all be dressed in wild west attire and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on some cute vows that would be old west or cowboy vows. Any and all suggestions would be so helpfull. I would like to make our invitaions so any ideas on those would be helpfull also.

For your invitations you could do a little rope down the side or an image of two cowboy boots sitting next to eachother.
I haven't seen western wedding vows but... i found this poem which might be nice
Charles Williams' poem,
"You Were There,"

Once I was young an' bold an' strong,
I knew my life would be prosperous an' long,
An' I could do anythin', without a care or heed,
I lit the candle on both ends, went at life full speed.

Work hard, play hard, drink hard, an' ride the rodeo,
Only old geezers an' fools would ever take it slow.
But that life grows stale, its joys an empty snare,
An' when I looked for a post to snub on to, you were there.

From the very first, I knew you were the one,
There was somethin' else beneath the laughter an' the fun,
You were as pretty as a slick new calf on a field of soft green,
But beneath the cute, there was deep, abiding beauty to be seen.

'Course, I didn't see it at first, just sensed that it was there,
Like a meadow waitin' for the rain to bring the grass an' flowers fair.
What you ever saw in this wild young cowboy, so full of fight an' dare
Is more than I can understand, yet when I was ready, you were there.

Try Googling Western Wedding Vows.... there seems to be a good amount of stuff out there.

I think it would be cool if you could have hay bales to sit on instead of chairs for the ceremony (if you're not in a church or place that wouldn't like that). It would also be neat to have a hay ride to transport your guests or you from the ceremony to the reception site if the weather is nice.

we have thought about the hay bails then also having some chairs for the elders who cannot get down to a hay bail and get back up. The ride sounds like a good idea.

We are having a western wedding at my fiance's families ranch and we are having a hay ride to and from the reception i think it adds a special touch
