AUBURN – Edward and Kathy Talpey are pleased to announce the marriage of their daughter, Erin Lynn Talpey, to David Allen Gunderson, son of Duane and Chalow Gunderson of Avondale, Ariz.

The wedding took place on May 14 at 4 p.m. at the Sixth Street Congregational Church in Auburn. Mrs. Gunderson arrived in a late model car dressed in a white a-line gown. Her accessories included a veil bordered with rhinestones, an anklet given to her by her husband and diamond earrings from her late uncle, Mark Theriault.

Her grandfather, Joseph Harvey Theriault escorted her halfway down the aisle, where her father met her, escorting her to the altar. Cory and Caleb Spruill were ushers at the wedding and Nicole and Taylor Conley and Ashley Talpey were wedding helpers.

Music at the ceremony was provided by a brass quintet, which included a cousin of the bride, Seth Morton, and uncle of the bride, Bruce Theriault. Seth Morton also played the piano and sang as well, accompanied by singer Shelly Young.
