A Fort Collins groom received an unwelcome wedding gift from a rattlesnake while taking photos at Horsetooth Reservoir on Monday evening.
Johnny and Laura Benson's wedding party drove up to Horsetooth Reservoir from Bellvue to make memories and take wedding photos. As the wedding photographer encouraged the group to back up to get the perfect shot, Johnny's friends began joking about rattlesnakes and getting bit. Soon after, it wasn't a joke.
After the rest of the bridal party headed to the reception, Johnny, 44, stayed behind to take romantic sunset photos with his new bride. That's when a rattlesnake decided to make good on the bridal party's jokes and bit the groom.
Johnny and Laura received help from a Larimer County park ranger and Johnny went to Poudre Valley Hospital for treatment while his wedding guests "freaked out," said longtime friend Nowell Vincent, 41, of Fort Collins.
