Reception!
Note to self: August outdoor wedding + 95 degrees + wearing all black = discomfort. I was considering the profession of painting (wearing all white) after about 20 minutes in that sun yesterday. Throw on a warm, chocking wet blanket of humidity or a 30 lb wedding dress (not me, but Melody) and you are good to go! It was a good thing the ceremony was concise - cool colors on the unity sand I might add in the beautiful backyard of the Botnen's on the Hastings Country Club golf course.
Ben and Melody's wedding was sandwiched between thunderstorms: the downpour that ended about 5am (which made Barb, Connie, and Melody a little nervous) and a surreal long-lasting lightning storm with a bit of rain that broke the humidity and dropped the temperature by about 20 degrees. That late-night lightning was a very cool backdrop to their Growing Up video and end-of-the night interview. Favorite moments: Carly and Josh's heartfelt speeches, Jackie's keen 'beverage cart' hospitality and knowledge of the Hastings Golf Course, and Scott the DJ setting off the fire alarms with the fog machine. During Josh's speech he said that he "lived with his brother's wife for a year" which was probably the funniest moment of the summer - brought the house down. But by far my favorite moment (and the award winner for this wedding): "Best robot dance by the bride" which goes to Melody for busting out the classic dance, hands down. -Judd, Jessi, Joe, Josh
