The bride was in one bed recuperating next to another bed the nurses rolled in for the groom so he wouldn't have to be too far from his bride. The doctors and nurses who work in the emergency room said it was the first time they'd seen a patient arrive in the ambulance wearing their wedding dress. As you can guess, this wedding day didn't turn out quite as expected.

Friday, 12 p.m. it's the s>\M,avt thli/wg to do It's the right thli/wg to do Aubrey and Kyle waited 31 years to find each other. After struggling through school on a dime with crowded apartments and tight budgets they are both doctors now, Aubrey has a Ph.D in Anthropology and Kyle is a resident anesthesiologist in LA. How they ever found each other is a miracle. They were born a few days apart but on different sides of the United States — Aubrey in Utah and Kyle in Pennsylvania. They both attended BYU but never met each other. He went on a mission to Spain and she finished her master's degree. Then she accepted a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania and he went to medical school in Pennsylvania. They never crossed paths. Sometimes it was hard to keep believing they would ever find each other. Aubrey was living in Washington DC when she was invited to a birthday party in Philadelphia. Kyle was invited too. That was the first time they saw each other and something clicked. They found ways to get together even with extremely busy schedules as she finished her dissertation and he finished his first year of rotations. Then he started a three year residency in LA and she started a job at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. we beat the price buj cov^crttt beautiful souls made covenants to God and each other. Then the pain became so intense that paramedics were called, the ambulance arrived and she was carried out on a stretcher. They talked about not wanting to miss the reception while tests were run in the emergency room but the surgeon on duty told Aubrey and Kyle they wouldn't be attending their own reception that night. Aubrey would need to be rushed into surgery as quickly as possible. She had a ruptured appendix and the situation was serious. So the reception went on without the bride and groom. Each guest was video taped and friends and family took lots of pictures so Aubrey could see the elegant red rose and purple Dutch Iris bouquets that decorated the hall. A ruined day? No. There were miracles everywhere. The marriage still took place! They planned to fly out the next morning after the wedding to Spain for their carefully planned honeymoon. This emergency could have happened on an airplane or in a foreign country. And they had pictures because of the storm warnings. .rrTij T(iere .are. nQ,,,ruined days — there are only miracles. . Congratulations Aubrey and Kyle. I love you. -MOM Local news in Benjamin 'Round and About Benjamin Kathleen Olsen \AO\AX It wasn't long before they decided they didn't want to live without each other. They choose Valentines Day and called the Salt Lake City temple. The plans began - red roses and Dutch irises to decorate the hall for the reception and chocolate dipped strawberries for refreshments. On a special date, Kyle served Aubrey chocolate dipped strawberries just before their first kiss followed by dancing, a love song and a poem. They decided to take pictures' at the temple on Wednesday because a big storm was forecast for Saturday. Aubrey got sick late Thursday night but brushed it off as food poisoning or the stomach flu. Then there was the wedding supper with both families on Friday night. On Saturday morning she felt weak but excited for the big day. On the ride to the temple she complained of pain in the lower abdomen but hoped it would go away. Once inside the temple, her mother had to dress her because it was too painful for her to stand. Right before the ceremony she raced to the nearest bathroom. The vomiting and pain were intense.. Then., there was a small break in the pain. Her father called for a wheelchair. The feeling in that sealing room was electric as these two Let's see - we'll start off today with signs that spring is trying to push winter out of the way (sometimes winter is pushing back pretty hard) but nevertheless there are signs of spring showing up around us - for instance: grumpy looking clouds interchanging with spring blue skies, baby lambs and calves bouncing around, hearing and occasionally spotting birds that are returning after an absence of several months, not knowing whether to wear a coat or just a sweater outside (for safety's sake, take them both - you'll probably need both before you return home) hardy, spring flowers poking out of the ground, seeing the 4-H and FFA young people in the beginning stages of getting their animals ready for the livestock shows starting in April, and the air just feeling and smelling like spring. We hope you can enjoy it - it usually doesn't last very long. ••• Another sure sign of spring is the advent of Relief Society birthday parties which are in the planning stages now. On Tuesday, March 17, Benjamin 2nd Ward will be holding its birthday party at the Benjamin Church. The program that evening will present life sketches of historical sisters in Relief Society. The Young Women of the ward are invited to join the Relief Society sisters in a delightful and informative evening. ••• Benjamin 1st Ward will hold its birthday party on Wed., March 18, 2009.
