Those attending the traditional ceremony at Holy Apostles Catholic Church in this Boise suburb lined up outside locked doors before being allowed into the church at 6:30 p.m., and the doors were re-locked by 6:45. No reporters or photographers were allowed inside, save for the wedding photographer hired by the couple.

''It's a private thing, you know what I mean?'' Otter said a few days before the event. ''That's what Lori wanted.''

It may be the last chance for privacy for the couple, given Otter's bid for the governor's seat. He faces Democratic candidate and newspaper magnate Jerry Brady in the November election.

Well-known Idaho faces were on the roughly 500-person guest list, including Gov. Jim Risch, Secretary of State Ben Ysursa, former Idaho Sen. Sheila Sorensen and Sandra Bruce, the chief executive officer of St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center. U.S. Sen. Larry Craig and U.S. Rep. Mike Crapo attended. The fourth member of Idaho's congressional delegation, U.S. Sen. Mike Simpson, was out of the country and could not make it to the wedding.

The couple dated for 10 years before getting engaged in April. Otter, who was known to joke in the past that he wasn't married because he liked to finish his own sentences, had asked Easley to marry him several times before she finally said yes.
