His grandfather he was close to started the gun show in our town adn is a longtime rancher, avid hunter and fisherman. My cousin has been fishing many times and even his dad (my uncle) knows a lot about guns and hunting and such.

My cousin loves country music. He can play all sorts of country music and sing it with his guitar. He watches rodeos and bull riding alot. He wears western wear quite a bit and buckles. (also boots and leather). He makes beer and wine at home rom scratch.

He lives in Calgary, which is a city now but in Alberta, a cowboy province, and even the city’s logos have cowboy hats and such. He love sthe Stampede.

He lifts weights and does alot of mountain biking. He loves trucks. He does alot of sports, like golf, squash, kayaking, canoeing, etc. He does some boxing too.

He has some knowledge riding horses (not alot I don’t think). He does enjoy manual labour and fixing things. He loves going out into the countryside and exploring ghost towns.

He gets up early and goes to bed early (very fit), but enjoys a few cold ones now and then.

His side of the family ahs deep western roots in Alberta in teh family.

Do you think based on all this he can call himself a cowboy without taking sh*t for it?

Hey is a country guy… to meet the Cowboy requirements you must actually work with cattle… I live in Oklahoma I would know… I however live on a small farm so I’m known as a farmgirl b/c I don’t work with cows. I wear western wear and I listen to country music, I ride horses, I love trucks and I live on a farm, but I’m not a cowgirl… If I proclaimed myself a cowgirl I’d get beat up but I’m a farmgirl…

why do white people get sunburned.. and have freckles and thin lips and always are the dumb ones in scary movies and always threaten to sue people, why do they try to dance, why do white women have flat asses, and why do black men date white women

why do black people not get sunburned do they just absorb the light, have big lips and like watermelon and chicken… why is there only one black person in every movie and he always seems to die first. why are there no black barbies ken might have jungle fever who are we to deny him this right.
why are asians always doing my nails arent they supposed to be like really smart i mean i hear all the time about how koreans beating their kids because they got a b in school..
why do asians always squint and why they have perfect circle heads i was actually able to sit behind an asian boy in high school in math class and never have to draw a circle i just applied pie to his head.
why do hispanics always do construction work, and mess up another language when they learn it, and always travel in packs, why are they always driving trucks and wearing cowboy hats.

this is just a general question… no racism is intended so dont get your panties in a wad when you read this im just asking the questions everyone else wont.

There are black barbies … sorry I don’t know the answer to any of the others.

So many things seem "Spaghetti western." I'm looking for "fits my lifestyle" western. No cowboy hats, but I do wear boots. My FH is a farmhand, and also a pilot, which makes for a nice play on words- he's the cowboy this cowgirl always wanted.
Anyway, I love teal and orange. Gerbera daisies are my favorite flowers. I'd like to use these in a western theme, but I've got no idea how. I'm also a shepherdess, if that gives anyone any ideas.
I know we'll go with BBQ for the reception, but how do we do decorations? Western-style tux or regular? Boots w/ tux? I'm stuck on what I should wear-I hate poofy, lacy, western-style dresses, but everything I like is very modern. Should I go with a dress I like but wear boots under it? What about for Bridesmaids? I'm lost. I've got a lot of ideas but no idea how to pull it all together. I want to embrace my ranch heritage, not ensure everyone that I'm a complete redneck!

P.S. I'm painfully allergic to hay, straw, and horses.
Thanks for calling me a redneck. I'm not worried how the guests perceive it- I'M the one who wants it to be classy country.
I love the rest of the ideas so far. Thank you *helpful* people so much!

I resent the "redneck" reference as well. Obviously that writer hasn't been around a Cattle Baron's Ball, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo parties, or any number of other places where the city society "gors western." But….enough of that…….

We attended a lovely outdoor wedding at a small ranch. It was a bit of a walk up a small hill from the parking area to the actual ceremony site. There were golf carts to drive people who needed assistance. When it was time for the wedding to begin, the groom arrived on a horse. The bridesmaids were carried up the road by carriage. The bride and her father followed in another carriage.

The reception was at the ranch as well. Tables were set up back at the bottom of the hill and buffet lines were used to served food like you are thinking of. It was an awesome wedding, and probably one of the weddings that I remember the most because it was so unique.

And the bride raised her dress for her groom to remove her garter. There were the cowboys boots.

(Decorations for the wedding were simple, because of possibility of the wind destroying flower arrangements. White chairs were arranged around a white gazebo, which served as the altar. There were simple garlands of flowers draped around the sides of the gazebo. The floral centerpieces for the reception were low as well because of the wind.

Tuxes were regular tuxes. The bride's dress was traditional, yet with simple lines that wouldn't cause a problem if the wind became an issue.)

It can work, and should be absolutely beautiful when you put your special touch on the plans. Best of luck!

P.S. If you're anywhere around Dallas, you might want to check out Southfork Ranch for ideas. They can pull off a western theme with class. www.southfork.com

try using a brush vacuum first, that will take away most of the dust, if it has a smell spray lightly with the fabreese. If dirt spots are shown use a light cloth damped with water and a little stain remover, just make sure you dab the spot good so now water stain appears. The vacuum should work wonders.

I’m gonna braid my hair in pigtails on each side so what other accessories could I use to go as a cowgirl?
