Hello.  I’m here again.  This time, I’m going to weave a yarn about a beautiful couple that we like to call Ashley & Reed (and is it just me, or does it seem like their names are meant to be together - like characters on a TV show or something…you know what I mean?  Like, they should anchor a newscast together, ‘I’m Ashley…and I’m Reed…and this is Eyewitness News’ - that sort of a thing…maybe it’s just me…ok…back to the matter at hand)!

Now, this yarn that I’m about to weave (and I have no idea what that expression really means, like, what the origin of it is…something to do with making textiles, I’m assuming…but I’m no expert on the textile industry) is not just some made up story.  Oh no.  It is the story of a wonderful day when Ashley & Reed not only let us take pictosnaps of them, but it was also their wedding day too!  What were the odds of that?!  Well, pretty good, seeing as how they booked us and everything else like that, but that’s beside the point. 

As I was saying, it their magicalfantastical wedding day, and we were lucky enough to be a part of it!  And do you want to know something?  Well, I don’t care if you do or if you don’t, ’cause I’m just going to tell you.  They were awesome.  Totally and completely.  No joke.  Straight dope.  MmmmmHmmm.  And if you doubt me on this, I’m going to ask you to just keep following these words until you get to the sweetly samplesnaps and you’ll have genuine pictographic evidence to backup my statement.  Before that, we gotta give MuchLove & ManyThanks to this sweet couple, their wedding party, and everyone else that made this day so great, and to all my lovely peeps out there in Land of Blog - Enjoy!

Gather ’round, my dear Children of Blog, because I’m about to tell you a story.  It’s a story about when the Otis & James Caravan of Love pulled out of the Minot station, and headed South to a land called Bismarck!  Now, I don’t want you to think we only did this to visit the State Capitol, or to even go to the Heritage Center…even though we did kind of do both of these things.

No, my good friends, the reason for our Southern sojourn was so we could be a part of the fabulous wedding of Allison & Mark!  I suppose you might be wondering why I’m calling the the ‘fabulous’ wedding, and I’m here to tell you that the reason why is because I can not tell a lie.  I know that someone famous said the same thing, and it may have involved cutting down a cherry tree or something like that, and it also seems to me that the story that I speak of is completely false and was proven to be nothing more than some sort of a morality fable, but people have just accepted it to be the truth because they’ve heard it so many times, but that only goes to show that just because you hear thing repeated doesn’t exactly mean that they’re true, but that doesn’t have anything to do with anything here, it’s just a statement of fact, and what this has to do with anything is that I can not tell a lie, and the wedding of Allison & Mark was truly, truly fabulous!

The reason for this, you may be wondering, is because they - along with everyone else that was involved with making the beautiful pictosnaps - made the day completely wonderful on all levels!  They brought their A-Game [ed.  You've never played a sport in your life, please stop trying to use sporting analogies - it reeks of insincerity.] and judging by even these few sample snaps that lie just below these wind-baggy words, I most definitely am not telling a lie.

So, with all of these words swirling around your head, I think it best be time that we put them all to bed, give MuchLove & ManyThanks to Allison & Mark for letting us be a part of their day, and to all of my little cowboys & cowgirls out there in Land of Blog on a Summer night so wonderful - Enjoy!
