You were so beautiful in the temple the morning we got married. Wow! I am so lucky to have the most gorgeous woman in the world as my wife! It is still hard to believe I was lucky enough to have you fall in love with me. Thank you for choosing me.
Our temple sealing was scheduled for 11:00 a.m. (We were #31 for the day in the Salt Lake Temple). We got to the temple, got dressed, and were all ready for our sealing. One of the temple workers took us to a room and told us to wait there. She would confirm that everything was ready in the sealing room and that the guests were all in place and then come to get us.
We sat holding hands and talking quietly. However, no one came to get us for some time. Finally, I decided to go to the door to see what time it was. I found another sister in the hall. When she saw my name and “To Be Sealed” tag, she exclaimed that the temple workers had been looking all over the temple to find us. Somehow, the temple workers had lost us in the temple!
(It turned out the temple workers had a shift change and the outgoing shift forgot to tell the incoming shift where we were located!)
