MARRYING MR. WRIGHT

The new Mr. and Mrs. Stephen and Nicki Wright as they greeted and dismissed guests row by row Saturday following their outdoor wedding ceremony.
Say what you will about love and marriage, but most girls dream of meeting Mr. Right. In my great-niece Nicki Barrett's case, make that Mr. Wright. As of 4:30 p.m. Saturday, she became Mrs. Wright.

The two are special to me because Nicki is a blood relative (I'm her mother Marlene Thompson's aunt, as in the sister of Marlene's late brother, David Jobe). But there's another reason they are special. They live in and are remodeling the home where I grew up on the old Jobe family homestead in Union County. Yes, it's on Jobe Road. That's about as down-home-from-the-heart as it gets. And I am delighted to see this couple make their home there.

The two had Brian, my brother Tim, and sister-in-law Jeannie, and me out last October to show us their progress. I blogged about it on Oct. 15, 2016.

Their talents aren't limited to remodeling an old farmhouse. They also prepared the food for their wedding reception (including the beautiful cakes), made the decorations and Nicki even crafted the boutonnieres and bridal bouquets. It was all country, all the way.

The site is a race-horse training grounds deep in the countryside of Fayette County around Waterloo. Surprisingly, there had never been a wedding on the property before, but it was an ideal venue for this energetic couple.

I thought the jockey-inspired men's attire was a perfect touch for the setting, don't you?

In fact, you might say that everything was just exactly Wright.

All the best to you both.

I love how the couple infused their wedding with so much of their personality! What fun to see it all come together.

I agree! They worked really hard to put it all together. Proud of their efforts. It was a beautiful day too.
