Kurt and Emily


I can't believe that Kurt and Emily's wedding is only two months away! I will have a sister-in-law. Craziness, right? It's not like she will stand out at all - she's blonde and tall so she looks like a Juengling already. haha.

This is a picture that Em put up on her fb today, so I'm not sure if it's one of their engagement shots. Either way it's a cute one of them!

I'm a little sad that I won't be able to actually be at the wedding. Erika won't be able to go in either because she isn't old enough to have had her endowments and Gerrit is on his mission, so none of the other kids will be there. If everyone was able to go in to the temple to see them get married besides me the sting would hurt a lot, but since none of the other kids will be there I guess it's fine. My Mom and Dad will be in with him and maybe a few close friends since no other immediate family members can join. It's sort of weird that he is going to be getting married and I won't see it. I'm taking the day off work though so I'll go to the temple to take pictures before and after the ceremony and then at the reception that evening. I'm looking forward to seeing the dress and to see who are bridesmaids, etc. I love weddings!

  3. I wonder if it makes them sad at all that the majority of their family can't see them get married :( so sad.

  5. @BadassBen. That's something that I have thought about as well and have had many discussions with friends about. It's something that is considered sacred to the LDS faith and when people cannot hold a temple recommend they are not allowed inside. It isnt created to be exclusive, but in reality I feel that it very much is. It's too bad that I won't be able to go, but I'm sure they feel it is too bad as well. It's just that we both have very different views on WHY we each think it's too bad. I can't fault them for their wanting to get married there though; it's something that they believe in and it's what they want for their big day. Each person has their own beliefs to follow; it just happens that mine are very different from those of my family.
