Wedding Planning, Western Wedding
by I Henman
That the spirit of the West still lingers in the memory of modern day Americans was witnessed by me the other day. The occasion was a wedding reception fashioned after the Wild West tradition. Contrary to my apprehension of a total disaster, the ceremony proved a delightful departure from traditional wedding where each topic was faithfully represented by the cowboy culture. That western wedding was actually a fantastic experience. I still vividly remember that western wedding.
That the couple was trying to follow western wedding standards was apparent from the very beginning itself. Even the invitation motif had a cowboy hat and a bouquet of flowers as the central theme and the attractive icons were seen on top of a bale of hay, skillfully kept at the left of the lovely notes. But more surprises were waiting for me in the form of personal notes for the guests written by the couple. It read they were “getting hitched” instead of the usual phrase used for that purpose. The presentation was simplicity written large, yet very moving and displayed Honest to God expression in every line. Wow, a western wedding can be so thrilling.
Embracing the same theme of western wedding, the maid of honor made use of little fun box pendants and earring sets, presented in a cowboy hat opening to reveal either a pendant necklace or earring for the guests at the bridal shower. These keepsakes, I was sure, will be adorned for years to come, reminding them of the fantastic western wedding.
You should have seen to believe it. Wine was offered to the bride and groom through a cowboy wine holder having its base as a horseshoe. On it stood the replica of a cowboy, his metallic arms outstretched to hold four wine glasses also etched with image of galloping horses. Standing bow legged on the horseshoe pedestal, it was holding the wine.
The bride’s magnificent gown with its trim train stole the show. It was studded with pearls and fine lace, resembling the long lost western bridal gown. When the beautiful bride peered from beneath her cowgirl hat with a veil attached to its corner flashing a winning smile, thunderous applause shook the room. You could have thought that it was not a western wedding, but actually a raid by some unruly cowboy gang.
