June 21, 2013 -- The Wedding

On June 14 of this year, we celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary.  Curt has been with us for 35 of those years and today, June 21, 2013, he was going to leave us and start his own family. 

The wedding day was bright and sunny, we gathered at the Bountiful Temple for the 10 a.m. sealing and the sealing room was full with friends and family to celebrate this event.  We had asked Elder Gary J. Coleman to be the sealer and it was wonderful to see him again.  Temple sealing ceremonies are not long events, but they are eternally meaningful and this was no exception.  A few short words and your life is changed forever -- literally.

I had all kinds of emotions wash over me especially the most sacred of having joy and rejoicing in our posterity as we were promised those many years ago.  How wonderful for all of us to be in the Temple.  I will always remember the day Theron and I were married, my mother wanted to be in the Temple with us, but she did not have a recommend.  What joy it is for her to have been a witness in Marc and Brittney's wedding and now in Curt and Melanee's wedding.  She is the most precious person there at this time in my mind.

Theron and Zoonie (Melanee's father) were the witnesses.  I'm so glad we have kept our Temple covenants all of these years and hope we continue in years to come. 

It is important to remember this wedding in pictures, so below are several that illustrate our time at the Temple after the ceremony.

Thanks always to my Brother Dawain and his wife Jana and to Lisa and Christian who traveled so far.


Curt's friends that always stood beside him.
