"I'm sure they are waiting safely for us at the Registrar's office," the Erin McPhie said.

The couple met during their first week at Harvard in 1994 at a get-together for Mormon first-year students at Herrell's.

They started dating during their sophomore years and kept in contact with each other during their two-year missionary trips--David was in Spain while Erin was in Hong Kong.

The couple was married in December 1998 in Salt Lake City and decided to try to start a family this fall.

They will move into Adams House this summer--where David lived as an undergraduate--to serve as summer school proctors. He will start his first year at Harvard Law School this fall while Erin stays at home to take care of the baby.
