RAIN... A sign of wealth and/or prosperity, or just a story to make couples feel better about rain on their wedding day? We'll check back with John and Amanda in 10-20 years to find out. Amanda gets the "best bride attitude" for her "sass" (as she and Christina called it) in dealing with medium-heavy rain including jumping in and out of the tent to take bridesmaid shots, etc. But when you realize that she waited 22 months for John to come back from Iraq, I guess a little rain kind of pales in comparison.
John and the best man (Jon) were platoon leaders in the Red Bull Company that got extended from 18 to 22 months - the longest deployment on record I believe. I loved hearing during Jon's toast how those two would bring up the old days in high school (Chaska) or "their girls" out on the battlefield to have a dose of home. It was great to see Jon and Christina (matron of honor) together again after I shot their wedding a couple years ago - she has only seen him for a few months since their wedding!
When bridemaid Colleen caught the bouquet, she was ECSTATIC. Never seen that before - dancing, jumping, and perma-grin for at least the next 5 dance songs. This was a very fun wedding and it seemed like the rain didn't even matter. Where else but in Minnesota can you be uncomfortably sweltering hot one week and see your breath under a tent in the rain the next (I saw mine yesterday). As Amanda said, "Let's take the shots out in the rain, I'm not going to melt." Good sass. -Judd, Jessi, Joe and Sherri
