Rain in January?

Kimberly & Michael 01.23.10
Mendakota Country Club

If rain on your wedding day means fortune and good luck then Kimberly & Micheal are one blessed couple! It didn't just rain, it poured! There were puddles that covered our boots but Kim and her fantastic bridesmaids smiled through it all! We made a stop at our favorite rainy day spot- the grungy garage before heading over to their warm and beautiful reception where guests were served hot fudge brownie sundaes!
