It finally feels like a fall morning here! I even made myself waffles, scrambled eggs and apple cinnamon tea for breakfast! Our house got below 70 for the first time since spring too.
Today's question is inspired by a trip I took recently. We were able to revisit the site of a friend's wedding about 10 years ago.
What was the most unique wedding you have ever attended?
One of DH's friends from growing up is a train enthusiast. His 2 year old already has a whole miniature setup hes constantly working on. He's trying to convince his wife to let him put an outdoor one together with larger trains.
So back when they got married; they included trains of course.
But it was hands down the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended. This friend had worked with a campground that has trains and tracks that were laid in the 1800s on their property. The property extends into a beautiful gorge and the tracks hug the side and run through at least 2 tunnels. This friend helped restore the tracks and helped them get at least one of their engines to pull campers up and down the tracks. The campers can get off at various points to do things like river tubing and rock climbing.
Their ceremony took place on the side of train tracks with the gorge and river behind them. The guests rode up the tracks in open train cars; the rock cliffs rising on one side and the drops to the river on the other; through 2 tunnels to a wider spot along the tracks. A friend played some instrumental guitar music as we rode up. Then a small cart came behind us with the bride and her father. The man who drove it was dressed as a conductor. The guests stayed on the trains to watch. It was fairly small; about 40 people could fit on the train I think. After the ceremony they took another small cart further up the tracks out of sight and we rode back to the main campground for the reception.
It was SO beautifully done. I've been to a few weddings in fancy old churches; but this one stands out. I love architecture; but natural beauty is hard to compare! I took some pictures when we were there again; but I'm not sure my phone is capable of conveying the beauty of the area.
