We could not have chosen a more perfect day for our sealing at the Cardston Alberta Temple.
We had a nice quiet sealing, with our parents, Raymond's brother James, and his sister Jacquie, his aunt Deb and Uncle Dick, Colin Palmer, and Marvin and Karen Beaumont, Ian and Erin Beaumont, Jocelyn and her brother Eric! Our sealer was Brother Prince (who happens to be the grandfather of a friend of mine from Medicine Hat)!
That Temple workers told us that we had the perfect day and that they hadn't had a lot of those recently! The sun was shining. There was very little wind if any, and it was just an incredible day.
I love being in the Temple, and being there to be sealed to my Eternal companion was amazing.
One of my favorite quotes about Eternal Marriage:
"An eternal marriage is eternal. Eternal implies continuing growth and improvement. It means that man and wife will honestly try to perfect themselves. It means that the marriage relationship is not to be frivolously discarded at the first sign of disagreement or when times get hard. It signifies that love will grow stronger with time and that it extends beyond the grave. It means that each partner will be blessed with the company of the other partner forever and that problems and differences might as well be resolved because they are not going to go away. Eternal signifies repentance, forgiveness, long-suffering, patience, hope, charity, love, and humility. All of these things are involved in anything that is eternal, and surely we must learn and practice them if we intend to claim an eternal marriage." ~ F. Burton Howard
