Have you ever wondered why there are so many students working for BYU Grounds? Does it really take that many people to rake leaves or shovel snow? The answer is no; however, BYU Grounds does more than just edge the grass and mow the lawns. They are part of a bigger scheme to manipulate the lives of BYU students. In a subtle, yet profound way we are all influenced while walking on campus, driven towards a common goal. What is this goal? It isn't graduating from BYU. It isn't even to watch the football team stomp some Pac 10 school. It is to lead all of us to the altar of matrimony.
This may sound absurd to some, but the truth is that the BYU Grounds crew employs so many students to beautify the campus for the purpose of creating a perfect setting for wedding photos. Just look at the rocky water feature in front of the bell tower, the duck pond, and the statue of Chief Massasoit. These awe inspiring vistas resonate to the very core of single BYU students, strongly whispering, "now you have a friend in the diamond business." So next time you're gazing into the eyes of Brigham Young's Statue, remember BYU grounds works for your eternal salvation.

My wife and I took some great pictures by the duck pond. Many people ask where I took them and they are shocked when I say it was on campus.
