Several years ago, about 5 and a half miles east of Dewey, Oklahoma, a long-time area couple built themselves a cabin on their ranch as a little get-away. Soon they added a small chapel. Later a one-room schoolhouse went up.
this sign reads:
"Hold in your heart
the prairie
In your memory
its song"
Before long a replica of a small old west town had been created and they called it Prairie Song.
There's a general store
and a bank.
What would an old west town be without a blacksmith shop?
A post office
and a US Marshall's office also make up part of the town
and of course, a saloon.
My nephew and his beautiful bride chose to be married in the barn. It was one of the loveliest weddings I've had the pleasure to witness.
He brought with him two children and she brought four. Together they have become one family. It was a special moment watching each of them pour colored sands together as a sign of that special bond.
AD and I wish them all the happiness in the world!
PS. The reception was held in the saloon - it was air-conditioned.

Congrats to the newlyweds and may the new family be blessed with love. And nothing better than a reception in an air-conditioned saloon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun setting for a wedding!
ReplyDeleteFirst off what a wonderful little world this couple has created -- Prairie Song.
