“We met in grad school at Ohio University and wound up in Ft. Collins, Colorado where we both consume more beer than two people probably ever should. We are both geologists and thought it would be fun to get married on top of a volcano. Everyone will be transported up to the hut on the mountain via snow cat.” And then we googled what a snow cat was, and immediately giggled in delight. On the way down the mountain at the end of the night, we fit about 20 people into a snow cat that really only should’ve held 10; it was a good day.

The Scene: Time for the vows, storm is moving in overhead while sun is shining through. Michelle and Doug are fairly recent parents who’ve had an Isla together. (The cute one inserting foot into mouth during the ceremony. Literally.)

Michelle: “Doug, when I first saw you back in that bar. Sitting there with your ‘fro…”
Doug: “Michelle, we’ve been spending a lot of time together…”

These two, and their genetic cocktail-Isla, have experienced a few chapters in front of our cameras. We were so glad to play a roll of their wedding; they inspire us to dance more, hug longer, and maybe have a kid. (Or some sweet cowboy boots…those definitely seem more feasible right now.) So grateful for the day(s) in their lives they let us document.

Thanks to the illustrating skillz of Jamie, we were able to impromptu-ly design the program fans for them. (We make sound effects for the little Isla bird.) One last thing we thought you’d like to know: “Bump” by Spank Rock was the last song of the night. (Which is hilariously awesome, and has become a new fave during editing parties here.)
