Two Couples Choose Marriage During COVID-19 Pandemic

 Brendt and Saane Boyer

 

    Brendt Boyer, who lives in Lodi and is a member of Mokelumne River Ward, married Saane Moli, who is from Tonga, but was working and living in Montainview. They met through a LDS dating website. Her job was taking care of a 90 year-old-man. When time came for their first date Saane was nervous, not knowing if she would be safe, so she took that man with her! He and Brendt hit it off right away as soon as they each found out the other was a pilot. The man told Saane that Brendt was the greatest, and it was all uphill from there.

    Brandt proposed to Saane on April 4 and they were married in a civil wedding July 24 on Pioneer Day.  They plan to be sealed in the temple as soon as one is available.

Isaac and Brittany King

     Brittany is the daughter of Chene and Andrea Mogler, Mokelumne Ward members.  She and Isaac King met in chemistry class in 2017 while at Tokay High School. Isaac is now on active duty with USAF and has a contract through 2023.  He works on the communication and navigation systems on the C-130 plane.  He may re-enlist or join the reserves.

   Brittany has five semesters left towards her agribusiness degree and is doing remote classes now.  She will be returning to BYU-I next year to continue on-campus learning.  She hopes to use her degree in the floral and horticulture industry.

   The couple were married August 29 in a beautiful ceremony in Sister Ann Grether's backyard, officiated by Bishop Eric Holden.  It was her sister Lily's 16th birthday too, so they had a special birthday cake for her in addition to their wedding cake.  Her mom Andrea said "It was very sweet." Ward members helping with the details were Sister Annie Leach, photography; and Sister Megan Blackwell who did hair and makeup. The family picture includes Chene and Andrea next to the couple, and their other two daughters Pamela and Lily.
