{ buddy and rachel } married

In high school I had a red headed drummer pal named Buddy.
Well. Buddy got hitched.
This wedding was so relaxed and layed back...I loved every second of it, from their dogs roaming the camp ground, to the christmas lights draped across the ceiling, to me getting to play "Pure Imagination" on the vibes and singing "Close To You", to this homily given by his new brother in law (just a teeny tiny bit, but click the link to read the whole thing):
"marriage, Oh.................perhaps it IS that ingrained image of the beautiful sweeping couple sauntering across the dance floor...........fluid, electric, stunning, grace, Yes gracefully..........................Rachael, Buddy............this can happen and needs to happen every day, over and over."
And, we can't forget the square dancing.
I was honored to be a part of their day.
