Mormon wedding?

Question

Does anyone know what the actually CEREMONY is like at a Mormon wedding? I hear its like a big secret and stuff...

Answer 1

Its not secret. Its sacred. Big difference. :)

Answer 2

I'm an ex-mormon, and I can tell you it isn't all that weird. The clothes that you wear are the same you wear when you go through endowments, and while it is different, I don't find it any stranger than the garb catholic priests wear. The people being married/sealed kneel on either side of an alter. They hold hands in a special hand shake position. The sealer reads off the Covenants to each sealee that they are taking and then asks them if they agree. The sealee's each say yes. There usually is some form of advice from the sealer probably before the ceremony. Then after the official ceremony they exchange rings. Again, it really isn't all the strange.

Answer 3

There's really no big secret. The ceremony involves getting advice from a priest. Then a set of vows (Do you take this man..) are given and accepted over an altar. The vows are very standard to a traditional marriage. The only differences would be the altar and the promise of marriage vows continuing after death.


As for not letting non-Mormons attend, this is true. Many Mormons cannot attend either. In order to enter a Mormon temple (different from a Mormon church), members of the LDS church must attest before local church leaders that they live according to a certain standard.

For those who have family that cannot attend, some recommend a separate ring ceremony and exchanging of vows after the temple ceremony; however, I do not know many families who do this.

Answer 4

I don't know much about it except for that when my brother in law got married to his wife in a morman church his side of the family weren't let in because they are not morman (he had converted). They were really pissed too cuz the flew all the way to Salt Lake City to attend just a reception! So yeah I guess its a pretty secret deal for them

Answer 5

Its weird! (the clothes part) Dont let any Mormons an here tell you any different! You kneal accross a white alter and hold hands while the Temple sealer seals you. Its very short....During this ceremony you wear your white temple clothing, and all the other endowment garb... You would be wearing your white temple dress and a veil and a GREEN apron and the little white booties. Your husband will be wearing white clothes, along with a BAKERS hat kinda of that goes off to one side! and ties under the Chin! and a green apron to and booties or white dress clothes. Oh and you both will be wearing a white sash type thing accross you body! You will feel like a jacka--! . There's pictures online if you want to look it up!! Personally I dont think something like this should be a suprise that day are have to go throught it!!! Talk about a crock! Poor kids! Mormons will not tell you much about this! Temple prep classes certainly do not mention this! Very embarrasing for a young bride that wants to look her best on her wedding day! I hope all your family is temple going mormons because they will be the only ones aloud in during the wedding!
Please research and find out as much as you can!

Oh the Mormons on this board arent going to like that I told all this but oh well!

heres a picture...See if you want to look like this? The Women will have a Viel over their head and faces and both male and female wear a white sash type thing.......
