Teacher Molly Adams has a problem with students still calling her by her old last name, Hamlett.

“Every time they do, though, I either give them a look or I don’t respond until they call me Mrs. Adams,” she said.

It still happens in one class in particular.

“Most often in homeroom because those students have known me for two years as Ms. Hamlett,” Adams said.

The name change happened when Molly Adams married fellow teacher Jimmy Adams after he proposed to her at the girls swim team banquet in May.

“The girls really enjoy having her at meets and things like that, and she really had fun supporting them, and I just thought it would be a fun way to do it,” Jimmy Adams said.

“All the girls swim team was there, and the families were there, and he did it kind of towards the end,” Molly Adams said.

And as soon as the couple got engaged, they were in a hurry to get hitched. 

“We got engaged on a Wednesday and we were married exactly two weeks later,” Molly Adams said.

And what better place to wed than in a desert.

“We found this place called The Valley of Fire,” Jimmy Adams said. “Just gorgeous, and just something unique, and it’s kind of how we have been, just kind of doing our own thing and to do things the way we want to do it.”

The idea of marrying in The Valley of Fire started out as a plan to marry in Vegas.

“It started as a joke with me and Ms. Hamlett at the time, we kind of joked around ‘Let’s go to Vegas,’ ” he said.

“(The Valley of Fire’s) just outside of Vegas actually,” Molly Adams said, “which is about an hour northeast of there.”

“Nobody came to our wedding, it was just the two of us, so it was just the two of us who went out there,” Jimmy Adams said.

And for the question on everyone’s mind – “No, Elvis did not marry us,” Jimmy Adams said.
