When I got married, I was sealed in the Oakland California Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We made promises to each other that I will never break. I am his for time and all eternity. And he is mine. That's the best part. I feel spoiled. In reality, I'm just extremely blessed.
Most of my family are not members of the church and therefore can't enter the temple. I wanted to include them in the celebration so we had a ring ceremony. It was the best decision I made. I can't express the love I have for them and the love I have for my husband enough. I will admit that making the decision to get married in the temple was tough for me. In the end, I realized that my eternity with my love was at stake. It's not about everyone else. I had to choose the right thing to do for me and the man I wanted as my eternal companion. My true BFF. So, courage mustered, we went for it. Get sealed and have a ring ceremony so that my dad could walk me down the aisle.
Even though I had already seen my man in his tuxedo with tails and all of my loved ones outside of the temple, there was something about turning to see him at the end of the aisle that took my breath away. That moment confirmed to me that we made the right decision.
Did I mention the awesome music we had for our ceremony?
I walked down the aisle arm-in-arm with my dad to this song:
AH. I love life. I love my husband. I love Jesus. I love you.
<3
Proceed with feeling super warm fuzzies now.
Au revoir.
