SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young was to be married in Hawaii Tuesday to former model Barbara Graham, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Young, 38, met Graham, 31, about 18 months ago through mutual friends. Both are LDS, and the wedding was scheduled to take place in a newly dedicated temple in Kailua-Kona.Church rules limit those allowed inside the temple to Mormons. Other guests, about 100 in all, were to join the couple later at a reception, the newspaper said.
Among those invited were 49ers coach Steve Mariucci, wide receiver Jerry Rice and former 49ers Brent Jones and Harris Barton.
Young is a great-great-great-grandson of Brigham Young, second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Steve Young, who missed most of last season with a concussion, has been the subject of much speculation regarding his plans for the 2000 season. He has said he wants to return to the field, although there have been suggestions he might wind up as a television commentator, perhaps on Monday Night Football.
Graham is a summa cum laude graduate of Arizona State. She works in public relations in Phoenix.
