Amy Moffatt and Stephen Graham marry August 13: ‘Until death do us part.’
‘This weekend I felt like the luckiest girl in the world,’ Moffat posted on her Facebook page on August 13 along with photos of her and Graham’s mountaintop Utah wedding.
Posted Moffat, ‘I haven’t had the chance to share a lot of the details of Stephen Graham and my engagement. For a few reasons, Stephen and I decided to be married in an intimate civil ceremony with our immediate families, just beneath the peaks of Utah’s Wasatch mountains,’
‘Beside a babbling summer creek, Stephen and I, in joyful disbelief, united our lives together and became husband and wife.’
The post continued, ‘I can’t tell you how much I love this man. I’ve never felt more loved, or have been treated more like a queen, than by anyone else in my life. Stephen is more than I could’ve ever asked for in a partner, in a lover, in a best friend.
‘For now our marriage is until death do us part. But soon enough we can go to a temple of God and have our marriage sealed for eternity.
‘Stephen, I feel like the luckiest girl alive. Thank you for each and every crazy, beautiful, and crazy beautiful moment we have shared up until this point. I can’t wait to see what adventures lie ahead of us’.
Spencer Luczak, a good friend of the couple who was driving behind them when the accident happened, said, ‘Shakespeare couldn’t have written this story,’ according to Fox Salt Lake City.
Adding, ‘When the truck went into its first roll, it lifted off the ground and was high enough where both the passenger and I had to look up through the windshield to see the truck above us, and then I slowed down just in time because it landed right in our path,’
‘When I got to them, I knew right away they were gone.’
While adding further, ‘Stephen waited his whole life to meet someone like Amy’.
