Amanda - To all you girls out there that want to get married in the temple, don’t lose that for anything! It is the most important step you could take in your life and don’t let anyone take that away! People will say anything to get you not to do it and it may feel like anything that could go wrong will. But that’s life and that should just show us that we need to make this very important step even more. It is important to explain to people how important this step means to you and how much you will regret it if you don’t do it right. It is so nice to be there in that moment and nothing can make up for it. You will remember some of the things they say but what you will remember the most is being in a place were you can think and be happy and nothing else matters but the marriage of the one person you love and will always love and yourself.
It is so important that I might have been a little worried that a ring ceremony might take away from it. But nothing could ever come close to gettting married in the temple. It’s not about who is there ’cause I remember more who wasn’t. People that I so wish could be there and have the wonderful blessings that I have for that choice. But sometimes all you can do is just stand up for that one thing you want the most and that you believe in with all your heart and mind. PLEASE DON’T LET ANYONE TAKE AWAY HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO GET MARRIED IN THE TEMPLE! Write back!
