I told everyone that my cousin got married last Saturday and that we went down to Austin for it. Actually, the wedding was about an hour from Austin, but it was closer than here. Outside of Marble falls is a beautiful resort called Horseshoe Bay. I have memories of it when I was younger because my father sometimes took me there for the weekend. I always loved it. It’s funny what we remember, I remember an enormous pool made of black rock. I thought it was fantastic.

So it was fun to go back after all this time. Jacob and Lindsey got married right on the edge of the lake. Behind them were vibrant flowers that had butterflies fluttering about in the background. It really was a great spot for a wedding. The ceremony itself was everything I expected. The little white chairs each held a wooden fan engraved with the couple’s name. The heat made us all thankful for that foresight.

I wish I had thought to ask what was the suggested dress code, because I was one of the only people in a full suit and tie. Some wore shorts. If only I had asked! These two are a great couple I think. They did what Samantha and I did, dating for near a decade before tying the knot. They really seem to have fun together, and they certainly seem like a good match. I always like it when a good couple finds their way together. In this day and age it just seems so rare.

Congratulations, Jacob and Lindsey Daniels!
