It happened..it finally happened...a man by the name of Chris finally stole the heart of my betsie and convinced her to marry him..(haha)
I know some of your are reading this in disbelief...but Jacqueline Coleman my friend for closer to 20 years than 10 is now a married woman!
I was lucky enough to be a part of this amazing day..it took place at "the farm" a place that is very near and dear to several peoples hearts...if you have never been out to the farm it is somewhat hard to put into words..it is breath-taking and somewhere you just feel at ease..a place you can take a nice deep breath in and exhale all of life's troubles...
The farm is one of my most favorite places..it is a place I have spent alot of time....had several plate fulls of "Jack's" homemade pancakes, tried out for the KY derby, celebrated many special times in life , and now got to watch my betsie say "I DO"
Jacqueline and Chris were married on Derby Saturday 2011...
The weather had been chilly earlier in the week but the sun came out and everything was perfect for their big day. They were married on the front lawn surrounded by a small group of family and friends. Then after the wedding we had mint juleps and went to the barn to watch the Derby.
We had brisket, BBQ chicken, corn muffins, etc- some good old fashioned cooking..and it was tasty. We had dinner, dancing, tequila, and lots of laughs...
Because did I mention we had multi-talented people there..Sid the guy who cooked the meat was also the DJ...and this was not something that was planned..something that just kind of happened...and well it worked...it was hilarious...
He was a great commentator...i heard things like ..pimp my barn...comparing the wedding to the Royal wedding..the list goes on and on...but everyone was definitely entertained.
TC was able to come in for the wedding and I was so exited..it was the first time I had seen him in a month..so it was nice to just let loose and enjoy a night of dancing with my cute hubby.
TC finally got to meet several people he had heard me talk of before...Jimmy and James Dunn made sure to break him in right and pulled out all their fancy dance moves for the big occasion...I really think James and Jack should take their dance moves on the road..
Then as we were leaving Jack...kissed tc on the cheek..hehe..too funny..i think he was just so relieved they had survived.
I am attaching pics of the wedding...however words can not describe how breathtaking jacqueline, chris, will, and nate were!!
It was a fabulous time...those Coleman's really know how to throw a party!!
A derby wedding? Don't mind if I do! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you could be there...although I'm not sure where else you would have been. Hehe. I'm also glad that TC could make it in. I SERIOUSLY cannot believe my dad kissed him on the cheek. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. After Jack mastered the "single ladies" dance and mine and Leah's "too hot to handle" dance, well, I guess anything was possible. Thanks for including me in your blog!
