I recently performed a wedding ceremony for a dear friend of mine here in my patio. I live on a beautiful ranch in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Range in southeastern Tulare County. I raise cattle and horses in the pastures around the house.
I have one older cow and her big bull calf along with an orphan heifer by themselves in a pasture on the east side. Because of her age, I have been feeding hay and supplement to help her raise this big calf. If I don't feed her promptly, or even if I do, she often begs for more by bawling loudly.
She heard me talking during the ceremony and came up to see if she might get a little more hay. She let out a loud bawl, so loud that I had to stop talking. Without missing a beat, I looked up and said even louder, "That's alright Old Girl. I can do this without your help!"
This got a good chuckle from everyone and added a little light and levity to the service.
I do weddings in this area of Tulare County, provide a custom ceremony allowing the couple to choose from several different ways that each segment can be done. I print this up in 24 font, put the pages in plastic covers, and all in a nice white binder. I also print up a nice Certificate of Marriage for the cover. I use this book during the ceremony, and that is my gift to the couple when we are done.
I have also put all my music onto my laptop, and feed that into a small amplifier to provide music in any setting. If the couple wants to use a specific piece of music during the ceremony, it is easy enough to put it in their folder, and provide it during their custom ceremony.
I have been averaging about one wedding per month this year.
