These two pictures are from a Family Home Evening we had in March 1971 about temple marriage. Mom wore her wedding dress and veil and Mom and Dad taught us. They told us about their wedding in the Salt Lake Temple 25 1/2 years before. They were married November 7, 1945 two weeks after Dad came home from Europe at the end of WWII. They were engaged September 1942 and he was gone until October 24, 1945. That day in November, they both received their endowments and Mom was sealed to her parents and Dad was proxy for Mom’s brother Lloyd so he could be sealed to them.

By the way, I can’t wear my wedding dress anymore. Doesn’t my mother look great? Don’t you love the smile on my Dad’s face?

Families can be together forever.
