Farm Wedding with Violins

The three boys played their violins for the first time during a wedding last night. They were hired because their teacher (the best man) had recommended them. Mr. Jarrett's cousin was married to his bride at an outdoor ceremony on his grandparent's farm near Cosby, MO. The farmstead was originally settled in 1844 and sits at the end of a dusty, gravel road about 30 minutes from St. Joe. The Schmidlings played beforehand and afterward, as well as classical songs for the processional, unity candle, and recessional. The family had arranged 200 chairs by the pond with white slip-covers and teal bows, plus the dock and pergola were strewn with flowers. Lovely setting. My trio looked very classy in their tuxedoes and sounded so professional!
