Fricken' Frustratin!

So this morning we had the opportunity to attend a wedding at the Draper Temple. It was beautiful. Besides the fact that the bride was very late things were a zoo. Okay, the whole thing was. They still have some coordination things to learn. Oh my gosh. I'm sure most of you have been to a temple wedding. After the recommend desk you go to the waiting room where you REMOVE YOU SHOES!!! people. So many people did not get it.

Then the ladies put on white socks, or bring your temple slippers. Either works. So people come, get pointed over to where you were supposed to remove your shoes and then guess what? MEN put white socks OVER their dress socks. It's not mandatory guys. It's to protect the floor from women who don't understand the concept of NYLONS!! Now I will be the first to admit they are not comfortable. But wear knee-highs, thigh-highs or nylons when you go to the Temple. It's the proper respectful thing to do. The socks are also to help protect nylons (the things you should wear to cover your frozen hairy legs) from snagging on the carpet.

Last, but not least. You are at the temple for a sealing ceremony. During the 20 minutes or so you are in the sealing room you are not allowed to take pictures, call people, check your makeup or any other unseemly activity. LEAVE YOUR PURSE WITH YOUR SHOES!!!! The ladies are there to guard your stuff. If your purse get's stolen while at the temple, it's the fault of the Bishop who gave the depraved person their recommend. Do not take your purse to the sealing room. There is no earthly reason for it.

Now that that particular rant is over I will share this.

The poor man who officiated was so nervous. I felt for him. He had to do the ceremony twice because the first time he left out the part about kids and such. He was, unfortunately, prevented from giving much advice because the Groom's sisters had the Bride with them getting their hair done. Then they got lost. Shouldn't you figure out how to get to where you're going to be married, before you're late? I did. I felt bad for the Bride and Groom. The whole day was thrown off. When we got there the groom was waiting just behind the recommend area and looking like he was about to die because she was late. He was so nervous. Then his sister just blew it off saying he should have known the Bride was with them. grr. I wish people would think ahead a little better.

When the ceremony was over the sealer just invited people to congratulate them. Not in an orderly fashion. It was a bumbled mess and took even more time.

Oh, and when you go to the temple, have mercy on the poor Temple matrons who are trying to keep the waiting room quiet and be quiet. Whatever you need to say can wait. The poor lady this morning reminded the room every 5 minutes. It was sad. There were over 100 people there for 3 weddings at the same time.

Don't get married in the Draper Temple. The canyon winds hit the front of the Temple like mad. Unless you like the windblown thing.

I was disappointed about things. The ceremony is a beautiful ceremony. I love hearing it. It was a nice reminder for Daniel and I. Our 2 year anniversary is on Friday, April 3. It's gone by so quickly. I love being married to him. Our life is good. I hope that my friend's marriage is as happy as mine.
