The Ides of October is the perfect time to get married. Brian Welch and Leah Rasmussen tied the knot in the Rexburg Temple with family and friends in tow.
Married by the Temple President, who performed a thought inspiring ceremony.
He chose to unite this couple, because they were both from out of state. Pictures of all were taken. Many lucky ones sported classy green outfits made by Paula, Brian's mom.
The luncheon and reception were held at a new double chapel on 2nd and 7th Street. Everyone joined in to help set up, decorate, prepare the food, entertain the kids and make memories that will last a lifetime. Tiny lights were strung up around the hall with photos of the love birds hung from the wires. A string quartet played while the rest of us ate, talked and the couple greeted their guests.
Many of us came from Nebraska, Colorado, Utah and points beyond. Several trips back and forth from the new apartment to the Super 8 to the store to the church were made. In the end it turned out to be a magical evening for all. The poor students that willingly helped hauled home the leftovers to sustain them for another week at college. The couple left for a star studded honeymoon around town & elsewhere.
