You will have a miracle if you find the church has records.

The Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness has a volunteer, John Cox. READ THE GUIDELINES FIRST. This system might be your best bet:

Start here, always use a LOCAL researcher if possible.

Twin Falls Rootsweb site, with volunteer help:

Idaho Bureau of Vital Records:

There is also a potential search of the local newspaper. Since you know the date of the marriage, there "might" be something in the newspaper. But, of course this depended on someone in the family being in the area. A lot of couples went to Idaho for marriage as there was no residency requirement. So, with money for the license... BUT, if the wedding was in a church, there "probably" was family in the area.
--It appears from the 1930 Census, Fred L. Wares was living in Flint, Michigan with his family. His father Fred Wares, age 52 (circa 1877/1878)
--A family tree on this family
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/295855/person/-313580410?ssrc=
has very little on Fred Jr.
--I found a Hester B. Johnson, 1930 census in Dudley Lake, Jefferson County, Arkansas, age 25 (circa 1905). But, I don't see any reason to believe this is the correct person, and it doesn't matter to this search.
