Happy Halloween

I celebrated Halloween today in an unusual way. I drove 60 miles to Dodge City, Minnesota for a wedding that started at 1 p.m. A light rain was falling as we sat outside. All the men on the bride's side of the aisle wore green and all the men on the groom's side of the aisle wore blue. I have known this bride since her birth as I was the birthing coach. She wore a beautiful white dress. This was a pagan wedding. The officiant was her younger cousin and he did a great job. They did a hand binding. As the bride and groom held hands a strip of cloth was looped around both of their forearms. I had not seen that before. I believe it is a Celtic custom. The wedding was held at a former farm. There was a building for a photo booth. There was a building for the bathrooms. The dinner was held in the first floor of a barn and the dance was held upstairs. We had tacos for dinner. I didn't do any dancing but I watched the others dance. The bride danced almost every single dance and she was good at dancing. What a wonderful way to celebrate Halloween.
