BYU-Idaho Brides Guide 2012: Wedding Planning for LDS Women


At BYU-Idaho, lots of couples get engaged every semester. However, after saying "yes", there are a lot of additional decisions about receptions, colors, dresses, styles and more. The brides guide fair at BYU-Idaho is a good place to start making those decisions. Watch the video to get more details and to get started.

Behind-the-Scenes

This story came up when I discovered that over 25% of the students at BYU-Idaho are married. Most come single, so that means that a lot of students are getting married while they are at college.

After talking with a few engaged women for this story, I discovered that many of them really needed a lot of help to get ready for their weddings. Even though some had some really solid ideas of what they wanted, finding out how to get it and how much it costs is a whole new world

Short Film Paid Opportunity

I know this is a long shot to find someone willing to do this.  I appreciate your willingness to take the time to post it.

The first Tyhee Ward church building was built in 1934. They had to go to Salt Lake to get the chapel benches, classroom chairs, Sacrament table, Bishops desk and filing cabinets plus other misc. things for the building. The truck that they used to transport was not big enough for what they had to carry so the story on accomplishing this feat is pretty funny, it you think about it.  I wanted to know if there was anyone interested in making the story into a short silent film.  I wouldn't care as much in the style it is portrayed: Three Stooges, Minions, clay shapes with eyes, etc.  Just would want to share the story to be shown at our 100 year Anniversary.

In a nutshell:

The Bishop, his counselor and a Sister began the adventure. The benches were almost double the length of the truck bed. Regardless, they loaded them and everything else on top of them with the Bishops desk chained to the roof of the truck.  Off they went.  Bishop Dunn had to turn from the alley to get on the main road. When he did, the truck would not turn and they were headed toward the shops in front of them, They hit the sidewalk curb to stop and got out to see why they didn't turn, to realize the back was so loaded the front wheels weren't even touching the ground.  They could see construction down the road. They got permission to take some of the concrete broken up at the construction site, so they picked up the biggest piece they could carry and tied it to the front bumper of the truck. It seemed to help, they were able to turn.  It was winter.  They had to go through Sardine Canyon, I think between SLC and Logan on through to Pocatello and then Tyhee. It was a narrow pass at the time with a steep drop on one side.  There was a storm and visibility was only about 10ft ahead. They came close to the edge of the steep drop numerous times. They could not get any traction in the pass. The counselor, who was big and burly, stood on the front bumper straddling the concrete with his coat, gloves and a woman's scarf in that blizzard to get through the pass.  It took them 12 hours to get to Tyhee.


I meant to tell you that we would be able to pay some for the Tyhee silent film but probably not what it would be worth.  If someone were interested they could call me and talk to me about a price we could both agree on.

Thank you
