If I were to do a Review of the Year 2013, I would call our daughter's wedding the Event of the Year. We were very happy during the summer to learn of Vicki's engagement to Joey, someone she has actually known most of her life. And very excited to learn that the ceremony will have a Cowboy theme, and the venue is her lawn.
We have fun shopping for the chosen Wrangler attire, but are overwhelmed when we arrive and see the incredible decorations being created. What talent!

The Vows
At one point in this most solemn ceremony, the officiant 'Brother James' asked the expected question to the effect that anyone who knows a reason why this marriage should not take place, should speak now. During the silence that followed, Stay Stik, the young stallion, neighed. The preacher laughed and pointed to Stik, and a wedding guest commented that Stik was saying "Amen!" to the union!
The service continued.
