Frontier Weddings

[@Plekhanov2000]

As people started marrying for love, weddings became more emotional. Even the cake would be in tiers.

[@BrendanTheGent]

Haha!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

HAHAHA! That was a slice of Heaven, Piekhanov!

[@JCTXFF]

Mmmm…I‘ll be telling that one

[@PhantomObserver]

That reminds me: have you ever done a segment on churches and cathedrals in the Old West?

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Not yet, but I will. Thank you!

[@ryanmedina5090]

​@@ArizonaGhostriders I always wondered about that one too. In westerns there is always the old Spanish mission Catholic church with the old Mexican padre. But I have to imagine that the old west was as diverse in religion as it was in people.

[@pamelabrida945]

"The blushing bride, having been sideswiped by a roving T-Rex, wore a lovely shade of street dust accented by a huge muddy lizard footprint on the hem of her gown..." Lol! Another great video! Thanks for posting!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

You're welcome! Incidentally, that bride is heir to the Folger name.

[@farpointgamingdirect]

My wife and I had a Civil War period wedding; we were still doing re-enactments and living history at the time. The ceremony was performed by an Episcopal minister wearing period vestments, and my wife made an early Victorian period gown from scratch. I wore my 6th Michigan Vol Cavalry captain's uniform with frock coat

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

That is sooooo cool! Glad you did that. Thanks for keeping history alive.

[@douglasarnold5310]

Me and my wife wore clothes from 1870 got married in a friends back yard and outside dinner

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Nice!!

[@lhdollbaby]

@@ArizonaGhostriders you ever get your boots back????, could you do a segment on I guess you could call it the first convenience stores on wheels where wagons had the basic things that you needed you would walk up to it, and buy whatever toiletries you need ,or the wagon would come around to whatever campfire or town that was set up at the time. I forget what it's called but I guess you could call it a Store on Wheels thanks Santee!!!

The shortest wedding was...Preacher, "You want her?"...."You got her"....done.

[@aminslee9378]

Hey santee, remember me? I want to tell you about something interesting about my family's history. My family have been a very rural family. They settled in South Australia in 1853. They settled in a town called Melrose in the Southern Flinders Ranges. The flinders ranges landscape is really similar to the old west. I'm a country boy. The town of wilmington nearby is where I spent a lot of time growing up. That is why I love your channel. Because whenever I see ruined cottages on the side of the highway near wilmington or Melrose. I feel connected with my history. That is why.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Well that is so cool. So happy to hear you are connected with your history. It's important!

[@nate2064]

Hey Santee, please do a "dressing the part: Santa Clause" for the month of December.

Awesomely great video, I really loved it, I learned what a wedding should be like in my book that’s set in the old West , that I’m now writing chapter 3 for. In a upcoming scene in my book my main character Sheriff Mercia Hawkins is trying to find another woman so he can remarry . That comes about from the previous chapter where I had his wife get killed by outlaws who attacked and burned his town .

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Progress on the book!

While there friends are going to be Scandinavian-Native American . Isn’t that awesome . That will be in the upcoming chapter 4 🌟😎👍🏼❤️💕

[@jfinnall]

Loved the movie outtakes. I recognized most of them. A couple I do not know or at least do not recall them. I always thought the joining in "Paint Your Wagon" was funny since they considered it a mining claim! There were also a lot of ceremonies with Native Americans. That might make a good special interest in the old west topic. I do not understand the references to the dinosaurs though.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thank you. Early on in the channel we introduced Rex, who came through a portal to another dimension.

Very interesting about the parachutes, but it actually is attributed to Queen Victoria in 1840 who wore white and started the trend.
