Nothing against your friend, what-so-ever, but the Pocatello paper needs to get a better reporter:
As Crystal walked out of the glen and across a footbridge over Dempsey Creek, the flower girl sprinkled rose petals at her feet while country western singers played guitars and sang love songs. The groom took her by the hand and escorted the bride to the stage under the large pavilion. Mayor Ray Bailey of Lava Hot Springs officiated.
The two lovers, exchanging vows and thinking only of each other, forgot for a moment the service to country and a war-torn Iraq. It was a very peaceful ceremony as the birds sang and the background.
That has got to be one of the worst bits of writing I've ever seen.
(I'm sure your friend is very happy despite the newspaper coverage of the event)
