Papa made many friends while he was in college, and a lot of them were
Mormon, but not all of them were. He had at least one who was Jewish. She
lived in North Carolina, and after college, she went back there. She met a
man at the place where she worked, and decided to marry him in 2011. It
wasn’t too long after papa went to Michigan for the corporate retreat.
Papa’s friend and her fiancé lived in Charlotte, North Carolina, but they
wanted to hold their wedding on the beach of the ocean, which is on the
other side of the state. They chose Atlantic Beach. My dad found pictures of
it online. It looks pretty and nice. The wedding and the reception were held
there at the same place, but they didn’t stay there the whole time. There
weren’t a whole lot of people invited, so papa must have been pretty good
friends with her to be invited. After the reception was pretty much over,
they all took a boat out to an island called the Shackleford Banks. It’s a
barrier island, which is basically like an extra beach that’s on the other
side of some of the ocean water. There’s something very special about
Shackleford Banks, though. A herd of wild horses live there. Most horses in
the world are domesticated, which means that they all belong to humans. They
feed them, and ride them, and even give them jobs. The Shackleford horses,
though, do whatever they want, and humans aren’t allowed to live on the
island with them. Luckily they’re allowed to go visit, and watch the horses
from a safe distance. They don’t want them to be disturbed. The people at
the wedding had fun there. I hope to go see the horses myself one day. That
would be really cool.
