Rachel Hillhouse & Cary Osowski
Rachel & Cary Osowski

When
: Saturday, June 20, 2009
Where: Grand Forks Eagles Crest Patio
1st Dance Song: "You & Me" by Lifehouse

Rachel and Cary farm just north of Oslo. I posted some pictures of them earlier this year taking a boat over the eight miles of overland flooding surrounding their home to get to a truck and a functioning road. Never the less, things came together for them today. The weather was gorgeous, they looked wonderful, and we got to the cakes before the frosting melted in the heat.

Rachel OsowskiTheir reception was on the patio at the Eagles Crest grill and overlooked the 18th hole of the golf course. An awning protected guests and, fortunately, the bugs didn't come out at all til late (and even then were pretty light).

We drew from the RSVPs for an example kiss each time the guests clinked their glasses. This led to me picking on a few of the trouble makers who kept starting things. I kept picking the same names over and over.

The video slide show was quite a challenge. Sunlight can make it difficult to see projector screens so I had a big screen handy just in case. I scanned the photos for Rachel (just over 300 of them) and used about 120 to craft a nice little nine minute film.

My favorite moment had to be when Cary's son got all the boys together and did a dance to Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Jump on It." Oh, did I mention I have video? Just a nice little 30 second clip here, but if anyone wants the full video, email me and I'll be glad to send it along.
