An Old-Fashioned Shotgun Wedding
In the late spring or early summer of 2005, Molly Bowers found out she was pregnant. It wasn't planned, but she was happy about it, said friend and Michigan State University Law School classmate Talia Goetting.
In mid-July, Molly, 26, and long-time boyfriend Alex Midyette, also 26, announced they would marry the following month.
On August 6, the expectant couple tied the knot in a sizeable ceremony at Alex's parents' home in Boulder. Alex is the son of Boulder architect J. Nold Midyette, whose real estate holdings in the vibrant Pearl Street Mall area of downtown Boulder have been estimated to be worth as much as $80 million.

Talia Goetting, a single mother, served as one of Molly's bridesmaids. The two women had become close friends during law school and remained close after graduating the previous year.

While attending law school in Michigan, Molly was a nanny to Goetting's daughter. Goetting told Crime Library that Molly doted on the little girl. She "spoiled her rotten," Goetting said. Molly loved children and never raised her voice to Goetting's daughter.
At the wedding, Goetting and some of the other bridesmaids took turns rubbing Molly's expanding belly. "She was very happy to be pregnant," Goetting said. "She always wanted to be a mom."
