Honored cannot even begin to describe how I felt to be Mary's escort going through the temple for the first time. She and I have had a great relationship for the past two years and we have been through a lot together and I was so happy for her that she had found happiness with Jeff and that they were choosing to marry in the temple.
So many funny things happened that I can't talk about here but one of the things that happened was one of the sisters in the temple asked me if I was Mary's mom! I almost choked! Do I look old enough? She was so embarrassed when I explained I was only a year older than Mary and she quickly took it back but it was a funny thing I will never forget.
The day before we wedding, Mary had to go through for herself and so we all went up (all meaning Mary, Jeff and all of Jeff's family and a friend of Jeff's) and had a wonderful time at the temple and feeling so happy. There was so much love and I almost felt like an intruder at times. We took a few pictures after and Mary just glowed - just like I knew she would.

Ouch - Mary's mum. That is almost as horrifying as the time I congratulated the girl who does the plants in the office on her pregnancy when she wasn't pregnant.
I was so mortified I had to avoid her every time she came back.
I love your dress Sabrina. I am always excited when another person makes it to the temple! Hurray for Mary!
