RockCrawlinChef and I decided that we were going to have a totally low-key wedding. And I mean, low-key. I swore I was going to wear jeans and boots to the wedding. How much more low-key can you get than jeans and boots?
About a week before the wedding, though, I started having second thoughts. I didn't want to look at our wedding album in twenty years and regret not wearing a dress, so off we went. I was actually looking for a sundress to wear at our reception BBQ (yep, we threw us a big ol' BBQ - as laid back as you can get), so we went to Old Navy, where I found the sundress for super cheap. Ashinator wanted a dress to wear to the wedding, so we went to Ross.
Yes, I did. I found my wedding dress at Ross for about $20. Now it's not a traditional wedding dress by any means, but it was a white dressy-thing that would suffice. And I could still wear my boots with it.
Now, like a true cowgirl who got married in her boots, the redneck wedding wouldn't be complete without climbing into the horse pen and getting a picture with the equine love of my life.
And as a little bonus, in case my $20 wedding dress from Ross and my cowboys weren't enough, here's our cake topper.

Low key is the best in my opinion... especially when it comes to weddings. I got married at the courthouse in jeans and cowboy boots! ;)
I have always loved that picture of you and Estes in your header, but I LOVE the whole story! This is just the greatest feel-good post!
And that cake-topper is priceless - totally classic GunDiva!
(And I totally see why RCC doesn't mess with you ;)
Thanks for linking up - I giggled and grinned through this!
(Mr. Daddy and I had a pretty laidback wedding too - right after we were announced husband and wife - we broke out the banana splits and hot fudge sundaes!)
Oh, Rach, I forgot to mention that *before* the wedding, we all went go-karting and had burgers.
But no banana splits afterward :( Wish I would have thought of that.
LOVE IT!!! Got married in my boots too ;)
No wonder we get along so well huh?
and I would bet that your family and friends were grinning from ear to ear with all the happiness going on. Wonderful story.
It was a beautiful wedding..and we all had a ball. But don't think Estes was being nice for the photo-op, she WANTED those flowers!
Mom
There is nothing wrong with a low key redneck wedding! As long as you have fun, who cares?!
I love that dress! It's perfect. $20? Can you come shop for me when I get married?!
Low key is best. I had a hairdresser that got married in jeans and boots and loved it.
I love your cake topper!
