Cowboy friends or no cowboy friends who really gives a f*&k when you've got pics that stunning?
Your post shows what's wrong with modern society. We are too worried about appearances. I'd rather have my best buds at a wedding with me than amazing wedding photos. My brother's first wedding photos were amazing and appeared in some magazine that the first wife got them into. I don't recall them photographing the divorce proceedings a few years later.
Now I'm not hating on the wedding photos (which I haven't seen). Cool wedding photos are a real treat.
Well I'll admit that my previous post was made a bit in jest; friends are more meaningful than fancy photography, no doubt. If you are having a very small wedding sans friends and/ or outgrowing old friends that is all good as well.
Don't love that I wrote a post that "shows what's wrong with modern society"... I suppose if one read my original post on its face, without leaving any room for the notion that said post was kind of a joke, it would be very valid to have your reaction to it, though.
