What happens in the temple during a wedding that non morman can't see.

It’s actually really not the wedding that is truly bizarre; it’s the pre-wedding ceremonies that are crazy.

However, the Mormon weddings are still private.  Mostly because if someone saw what they had to wear on their wedding day before hand, there would be a lot less Mormon weddings.

Here is what they have to wear:

The couple kneels at the altar in front of only other worthy temple members.  No children are allowed because children have not gone through the temple on their own.  In fact, the only other people who can attend are people who have gone on missions or have already married.  Here’s where they kneel:

Here is what is missing from a Mormon wedding that is involved in most traditional weddings:

• Exchange of rings
• Personalized vows (not allowed)
• No kiss at the end of the ceremony
• No walking down the aisle
• No bridal party in the actual wedding
• Pictures of the actual wedding

It’s very impersonal and unromantic.  Thankfully, I’m having a normal wedding.
