Huckleberries: Wedding couple chills by Lake CdA

Lindsey Rasmussen is a determined 23-year-old, according to her Uncle Duane Rasmussen. That determination helped her enroll at a top-notch dental school at Loma Linda University in California. She plans to follow in the footsteps of her father, Coeur d’Alene dentist Stan Rasmussen. That determination also enabled her to squeeze in a photo shoot, a wedding day and a honeymoon during her Christmas vacation. And that determination found her shivering in her white-as-the-snow wedding dress with her fiance, Daniel Gross, on the Lake Coeur d’Alene shoreline Dec. 27. Photographer Vickie Atkins Close handled the camera. Uncle Duane provided the warm, red blanket between photo shots. The couple were married the next day in the historic Fort Sherman Chapel nearby. The possible repercussions from the photo shoot on a cold winter’s day didn’t surface until Lindsey and Daniel returned from their honeymoon. Lindsey was sick and missed school for four days. But she was in good hands. New hubby, Daniel, is a medical student at Loma Linda University/ DFO , Saturday Huckleberries. More here .
