There are so many types of weddings and ways to do a wedding. In fact, I'm not sure there's a way to really mess it up. But I do know for sure, that R & N certainly did it right. Located on an expansive property and old farm northwest of Winnipeg, the scene was set for a perfect day. It was the first wedding I had been to that had all the friends and family physically camped out on location. They had a collection of RV's, trailers, tent trailers and tents set up in and among the bushes. Extension cords criss crossed the manicured lawns, and generators hummed out of sight. The groomsmen leaned against an old barn and cracked equal amount of jokes to 'cold ones', laughs echoed all around.
July on the prairies can be the most beautiful time of the year, but it can also bring unsettled weather. Like the farmers that once lived on this old yard, we watched the skies like hawks, and nervously hoped the clouds wouldn't break over us. Well, they did break over us, and unleashed a deluge of down pouring water. It lasted only moments, but felt like an eternity at the time, and then gave way to one of the most beautiful evenings of the summer. What a wonderful day, with wonderful people, capturing memories that will stick with us forever.
