I was at BYU-I when the Rexburg temple was dedicated, and I went there every week until the end of the semester to do baptisms. It's a gorgeous temple. When I went through for the open house I was stunned. It has the largest sealing room out of all the temples currently on earth. I'd love to be married there, although my only big concern would be too many people crowding around. That's why, although the SLC temple is gorgeous, I wouldn't want to get married there because I hear it's such a popular place you get sent through pretty fast, and that doesn't seem as personal to me.

My parents and my sister both got married in the Seattle temple, which is another one I really like. It's the temple I first did baptisms in and I've been inside it more than any other temple. The grounds are beautiful there, too, which is more than can be said about Rexburg. Although when my sister got married there in winter it was very cold and wet, which wasn't so great. Seattle in the spring or summer would be great.

And although there are some temples I do think are pretty ugly (Logan, Ogden, Provo, etc.) Any other temple I think would be special for me. Cliche, I know, but I think it stands true.

heart heart Bountiful Temple heart heart
And I will. In July!
For one, I'm breaking tradition. Both mine and hubby's parents', and my best friend and her husband, (and just about everyone else) were married/sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. I beg to be different!
Plus I've always loved the Bountiful Temple. It's beautiful year round. Its always where I've seen my eternal family starting.

Well shoot, I'm not thinking of getting married anytime soon blaugh but the Lubbock, TX temple is the closest to me...I've got friends who were married in the San Antonio temple, but I honestly have no idea what either temple looks like (never been to one). I suppose it would just depend on where my future hubby would want to go.

Actually I have a question for y'all who know about this kind of stuff:
Say I got married and had a civil ceremony first here... if I went on my honeymoon outside of the United States could I get sealed in a temple in another country immediately after the civil ceremony or would I have to wait a year?
The reason I am wondering is because my mom and the rest of my family are not members of the Church, and it would break my heart not to have my mom at my wedding. I know I'm not getting married or anything but it's something that has crossed my mind once or twice concerning the future. sweatdrop

If you had a civil ceremony, for whatever reason, you still have to wait a year. What might be better for you (that is, if your family is still in the non-member catergory by the time you are ready for marriage) is to have the temple ceremony in the morning, and to have a separate civil ceremony afterward. My husband and I were planning on doing such, as neither of our fathers can attend the temple.

I don't think you should delay a temple marriage. The importance of temple marriage has been stressed many times by so many prophets. I strongly believe that if you are married in the temple (not just sealed there after a civil ceremony) you and your family will be blessed. It may not seem like it at first glance, but I believe it will happen. I think Mrs. Eddie's idea about the civil ceremony afterward is a great idea. I think a loving mother would understand and want what's best for you, even if she doesn't understand, and that's a temple marriage.

Jordan River Temple. It sucks that even going 20 minutes is hassle for us.

I would want to get married in the Manti, Utah temple. I have cousins that live in Manti, and have driven past the temple whenever we went to see them for as long as I can remember. It's just a great looking temple at a beautiful location.

It's kind of a tie for me. Either the St George, or the San Diego.

When I first joined I fell in love with Salt Lake, but I've heard some not-so-nice stories about the "progressive-style" rooms (though I'm sure it's still beyond words amazing).

The ideal temple marriage for me would be to a worthy man that i was sure that i loved with all my heart and wanted to be with for eternity, in the Portland Oregon temple.

I would love to get married in the Oakland, California temple. I have heard some very neat stories about it

You would still have to wait a year to be sealed....UNLESS....i've heard there are some countries that do NOT recognize temple marriages as legal marriages, and in those countries you have to be civilly married first, then you can be sealed in the temple directly afterward....i don't know which countries they are, though.

Oh, and I was married in the Albuquerque New Mexico Temple. It doesn't matter which temple you're married in. The priesthood is the priesthood, and every temple has at least one ordained sealer. The covenants and blessings are the same.

I'd like to get married in the salt lake one if I could.

I dont want to get married in a Temple. They are freeky! They ruin your wedding day too. That mak eyou wear thse weiad wedding garments and you dont get to wear a gown. Besides, The temples I dont think are relly a house of god anymore. They are relly wieird. I am not letting those Freaks inside ruin my wedding day. Also temples are wier they have satanic symbols on the outside of them.

Don't know who you have been listening to but you are so totally wrong...There is nothing weird about the Temple. It is a sacred place and a holy place and there are no freaks inside....and yes, you can wear a wedding gown....I love the Temple and everything it stands for....And it really is a House of God....You obviously have no understanding of the significance of the Temple and the sacredness of it....It is a very spiritual experience....I'm sorry you feel that way....
