Celebration

Amish-Buggies-in-a-Line

The month of November is wedding season for the Amish Community. By 8 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday, rows of buggies line the lane of the bride-to-be’s home. With a morning church service, singing in the afternoon, and mountains of food in between, the celebration lasts all day.

Of course not all is solemn and serious on the day of an Amish Wedding. In the photo above, a group of young Amish men gather to play a few competitive games of volleyball. Take note that they’re still wearing their Sunday best. Their clean white shirts may not stop them from diving into the grass to make saves.
