I agree with Ron the carriage guy was never booked! That was rotten of them!
😇
Thank you for showing this. I have waited for this for a long time. I just loved it.
I'm back , the dressing table fitted. Yay. Antiquing is so enjoyable but can be so expensive.
I'm glad you had a beautiful wedding and honeymoon and even managed some privacy and time to just enjoy each other.
Your new home will be amazing, especially as you slowly collect the pieces that will make it home .
I thoroughly enjoyed this whole video .
Have a fantastic week lovelies ❤❤
P.s. where will you be in one more year , playing outside the cabin with a toddling little Ron ,dressing him in sewn up sugar bags . I hope . Haha.
Happy Anniversary!!
Happy Anniversary 😊. I love your channel!
Finally already! I get to watch the wedding documentary after all! Thank you and bless you, you are such a delight.
This is beautiful. Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary. I hope for 1 million views!
That was one great potato masher
If you really want great antiques, all over the country, Ron and Justine, FOR GREAT PRICES, go to estate sales, and go to antique auctions. ESTATE SALES AND ANTIQUE AUCTIONS ARE WHERE ANTIQUE DEALERS GET THEIR ITEMS WHOLESALE. THAT THEY THEN TURN AROUND AND SELL, GREATLY MARKED UP TO THE ANTIQUE STORE DEALERS. If you go to an antique or an estate sale auction on a snowy or stormy day, a lot of people don't show up, and only a few people are bidding. and THEN you can place a bid and get some great antiques, jewelry, Steinway grand pianos, Persian rugs, 18th Century furniture, etc etc etc……………. for pennies on the dollar, like pay only $ 175,00 or FAR LESS, for an antique 1895 armoir, from Liverpool England, that normally , during great weather, when the auction is crowded MIGHT sell FOR AROUND $1,400 . If you show up and pick out what you like during the preview, then, bid on days where the weather is very bad.And the internet and ebay are great places to look for great antiques. Also good, authentic looking antique reproductions are not too terribly expensive, like reproduction Tiffany lamps are all over ebay and at estate sales. Try to find out about estate sales by reading the newspapers online in any new city that you go to, for example, Richmond, Virginia has a lot of antique and estate sales every weekend, because rich, old people, who love great antiques are always, sadly, passing away. (You can't take it with you!) …………………………. In Manassas Virginia there is an auction house named Laws auction , that has its previews every Thursday, and its antique auctions every weekend. Most of Laws auctions antiques in Manassas Virginia, comes straight from England…………………..Laws auction in Manassas also has their weekly antiques catalogues..online or in print…………………………………….I have picked up some GREAT ANTIQUE AND FANTASTIC ANTIQUE REPRODUCTION PIECES THAT WAY! JUST BID ON RAINY, SNOWY, STORMY DAYS!. (YOU CAN EVEN BID OVER THE INTERNET,), THEN IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A ROADTRIP TO SEE THE BATTLEFIELDS AND HISTORIC BATTLEFIELD REINACTMENTS IN mANASSAS OR IN RICHMOND VIRGINIA, YOU CAN PICK UP YOUR ANTIQUE PURCHASE ON THE WAY TO OR FROM, LAWS AUCTION IN MANASSAS, VA. OR ON THE WAY UP OR BACK FROM A REINACTMENT NEAR GETTYSBURG, PA! Best way to do something like this is to rent a car or truck for te trip up, or back to transport your new antiques home with you. VIP!!!!! SET A BUDGET AND DECIDE TOGETHER AS A COUPLE WAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, ALSO, VIP, buy an antiques guide or take one out of the library and REALLY EDUCATE yourselves together about what styles of antiqu 18th C items are out there, and how much they are going for, so you know what is authentic, and what a great price is.
It was awesome thank you for sharing it 👍
The intro reminds me a lot of American Pickers.
Happy Anniversary.
On May 9th we will celebrate our 28th anniversary.
Congratulations guys!! Blessings and joy to many years together. You guys should consider uploading the documentary to the Internet Archive for preservation.
I swear the show ended like there was going to be another episode
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful wedding day with us. Happy Anniversary and many, many more!❤❤❤❤❤
I've now seen your wedding 3 times and it still warms my heart. How good the Lord has been to you both and now waiting to bring your son into your family is simple amazing. Thanks once again for posting this for us to watch as many times as we'd like. I was one who paid to watch it and it was worth it, but today with the commentary it made it even more special. So glad I came across EAmerican channel years ago and then Frontier Patriot.🙂
Mine was definitely better the day of the wedding than one year later. But it was fun to try the top layer 12 months later. Enjoy!!
I just loved this documentary, great job guys!❤😊
Justine: would you mind posting again (or directing us to the video or written receipt in which you made) the wedding cake? What you call citron is Zitronat in German. There is also Orangeat. Both are true staples in German baking and available everywhere all year around. It is mostly used in Christmas baking (such as in Gingerbread and fruit cakes, but also in Florentine cookies etc.). I really like it and would love to try a one family-sized version of the cake (definitely not using 60 eggs… LOL)….
