Over the weekend, the hubby and I drove to Nashville to attend an “encore” wedding of one of my friends. Neither of us have ever really been to Nashville meaning we’ve never really stopped and stayed. I would guess that neither of us would put Nashville on our list of “must-go again.” Of course we weren’t really there to vacation but I’m not sure you would want to go there to vacation in the first place. The encore wedding ceremony which turned out to be a confirmation of vows was really for the groom’s family and friends who could not make the original wedding in Hawaii. Well the hubby and I couldn’t either so this was our way of joining in on the celebration. The ceremony was brief and not entirely formal with a viewing of a DVD made by the couple. The baby pictures and the formal wedding portion of the DVD was great but the “music video” part was a bit too cheesy for me even though I, myself, had only gotten married a couple of months ago. It’s not something the hubby and I would think of doing, thankgoodness. Following the ceremony was a BBQ luncheon in the church hall. The whole affair was very Nashville. I’m sure my friend would not have done something like this if it wasn’t for her husband and his family. Overall it was very nice.
Nashville itself doesn’t appeal to me. Yes there are a lot of historical sites and things to do but nothing in particular I really wanted to do. And the things I would have even considered didn’t fall into our schedule so we did the things we like best: shopping and watching movies. At least we can say we came, we saw and we conquered (sort of) Nashville.
