Pennsylvania Amish Wedding Photos

Pete Bannan from the Daily Local News recently visited the scene of an Amish wedding in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

This is the county which neighbors Lancaster County to the east, and where a sizeable portion of that community’s members live.

While it doesn’t look like he got a lot of information about the event, he got some photos of the occasion, showing the attendees gathering, the portable “wedding house“, and meal preparation.

I haven’t seen a lot of photos taken at Amish weddings. There are a half-dozen of them included with the article, which you can view here (no longer online).

    Overwhelmed By Technology? Here Are 3 Ideas Inspired By The Amish

    It’s nothing new to observe that people feel overwhelmed by technology nowadays. The Amish fascinate many for a related reason. They’re a society of people who live with restricted technology, yet by many measures appear to be thriving. Here’s a new article on the Amish and technology where writer Alex Mayyasi looks to the Amish for ideas that non-Amish can use to get back in…

    I met Bob by accident, or fate, hard to know which it was. He and I spent three hours together one Sunday morning in September, walking the countryside, my Sunday shoes getting wet from the dew. He was a good listener, but he often got bored and wanted to run. He is young so you have to forgive his wandering attention. Bob has four legs…

    I don’t know if it was just coincidence, but two stories on the Amish and e-bikes came out last week on the same day – one on Amish in Ohio, and the other on Iowa (that can’t be coincidence, I’m thinking). If you’re not familiar, e-bikes are bicycles fitted with an electric motor which provide additional power when riding to provide an easier ride and…

    Amish Shoe Repair

    I have a favorite pair of shoes. They’re cold-weather hikers, originally waterproof but after a few years of use, not so much anymore. That’s not the problem, though, as apparently a tiny hole has appeared, somewhere, in the sole (where exactly, I haven’t been able to determine).  However it lets enough water in that walking around on a rainy day or on wettish pavement soon…

    Inside an Amish buggy

    So often we see only the exterior of an Amish buggy. The distinct silhouette of an Amish carriage is so easily recognizable it’s become a symbol of the people. What’s inside that buggy? Interiors can vary based on what’s accepted in a given Amish church, and also on the age of the driver (with the more “creative” interiors found in the vehicles of the younger…

      Amish Weddings in NE Indiana

      Hi,

      I’ve been to a few weddings here in NE Indiana, and for sure, it’s tough to get photos of the actual wedding. But I’ve gotten a few before-and-afters. Here are two links:

      http://myamishindiana.blogspot.com/2018/11/another-amish-wedding.html

      Next month I have a post coming out in which I took some good pix of the venue the day before the wedding – no link yet.

      It’s interesting that the buggy in the right foreground of the second photo appears to be a two-horse one, with a single pole instead of two shafts, and two singletrees instead of one. One-horse buggies, like the one in the left background of the same picture are much more common in most Old Order communities. Though from what I’ve seen in photos, two-horse buggies seem to be seen a little more often in Old Order Mennonite settlements in Ontario.
