Editor's note: Third in a series about the Mormon wedding experience.
In his book, The Holy Temple, President Boyd K. Packer provides a wise reason for brides to select an appropriate wedding dress.
When you have the opportunity to go to the temple to participate in the temple ceremonies or to witness a sealing, remember where you are. You are a guest in the house of the Lord. You should groom yourself and clothe yourself in such a way that you would feel comfortable should your Host appear, the senior apostle wrote.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has provided guidelines regarding appropriate temple wedding dresses and clothing (Source: The Eternal Marriage Student Manual, p. 317).
Brides may wear their wedding dress in the temple to be sealed. Dresses must be white, without heavy (or elaborate) ornamentation, have long sleeves and a modest neckline, have all sheer material lined, and the train must be removable or be able to be pinned or hooked up out of the way. If there is any question about the appropriateness, take the dress or fabric and pattern to the temple for approval.

Guests should be counseled to dress as they would attend a sacrament meeting. Tuxedos or other formal wear is not appropriate. All guests must have current temple recommends....

It is amazing that we ANTIs manage to post MORE stuff from OFFICIAL LdS sources than PD does!
Hey!
I signed up for the Decent Tour!
He signed up for the Decent Tour!/Chuckle
Right HERE!!!
Do NOT mock his muffins!
Are they official representatives of the LdS church headquarterd in SLC or are they laymen?
Since it’s from FAIR, a NON-official source, on what authority do they speak?
Since the source of the video is not an official source, I reject your premise that they can speak on behalf of the mormon church and are therefore authoritative.

Ratcheting those blinders on just a wee bit tighter every day eh? Justifying your obsessed nonsensical behavior any way you can. Your choice.
HA HA HA!!!
Right on cue! Perfect PD, just perfect.
Nothing of substance, empty hands as usual.
I expected nothing more than an arrogant, petulant, and puerile response to my post since there is no legitimate response to my initial inquiry.
Thanks for the laugh and for not "ratcheting" up my expectations any.
You failed to answer my question.
Do you deny the fact that Joseph Smith was a CONVICTED FELON????
Yes or no! Don’t wait for the translation - yes or no!
Well, since PD says that OFFICIAL MORMON Sources are REGURGITATED garbage; what does y'all exPECT him to post?
You failed to answer my question.
You REALLY expect him to??
Bourbon, rye, or beer?
Tell us PD, are you PERFECT as Christ commanded you and by which mormons justify their doctrine of works? Still waiting.
Are you?
Sorry still not going to play your silly anti games.
I will answer in all seriousness and honesty. mormons like you continually tell me that Jesus commands them to do works and to perfect thenselves citing Jesus from Mt 5.
Or do you consider your witness a 'game' pd?
I didn't know that Elsie was a poof!!!!! :)
(no he didn't, I'm kidding)We actually had a nice conversation about all you good FRiends. He did take a few nice pictures including the one we posted on the website last week. Elsie of Indiana Photograph
Very nice. I didn't know that Elsie was from Indiana. We spent 5 charming years in NE Indiana before moving to Iowa. The only time I've been in Utah is driving up from LA along 15 to (I believe) La Verkin. Driving at night with no sleep, I don't have a lot of details that I remember.
But speaking of dress, when you were in the temple events, did you prefer yours low cut? Strapless? Above or below midthigh?
I always liked the topless temple events. There are certain benefits for young men 19 years old. Of course we were not allowed to touch. That is until we went through the veil and did those special hand shakes.
LaVerkin? Why that’s over there by Virgin and Toquerville.
Of COURSE you won't!
You can't WIN!
And why NOT?
Ain't I intrigueing enough to checkout my homepage?
