Uninvited guest is crashing weddings in Stillwater
 

Some brides getting married in a picturesque Minnesota town are now dealing with an unexpected 'wedding crasher.'

A 150-foot-crane is being used to build a parking garage in downtown Stillwater.

Brides say it blocks the view of the Saint Croix River from the Stillwater Library Terrace and some are worried it will be in their wedding photos.

The city can't make it disappear, but says a photographer with the right tools, can.

Bill Turnbladt, Stillwater Community Development Director, said, "With a simple photoshop application, the crane goes away. The mar will no longer be there, and you can look at your photos, and the memories will still be clean."

The city is considering giving some brides discounts because of the crane.
