"Daddy, look at me. I'm the cutest wedding girl in the world. Are you going to walk me down the aisle?" "I can't walk you down the aisle, sweetheart, but I'll do something even better. I'll tell you a story about the day that you get married when you are all grown up." When a little girl, all dressed up in her mother's wedding veil, traipses into the room and asks her daddy to walk her down the aisle, her father instead tells her all about what her temple wedding will be like. From the beauty of the bride's room to the chandelier in the sealing room to taking pictures on the temple grounds, each page of this beautifully illustrated book describes the steps of a temple wedding. In our world, civil weddings have been made to look magnificent and glamorous, but now this special book displays a few of the reasons a temple wedding is the most desirable kind of all. My Wedding Day belongs in every LDS home to strengthen each child's commitment to be married in the temple one day.
It's beautiful, simple, breathtaking, spiritual, and a very top favorite of my little girls who ask me to read it to them over and over again.
Deseret Book sells this book. Another thing I appreciate about this book is the reminder it lays out for us regarding how the nature of our wedding day should be. We shouldn't be caught up in the bustle of last-minute wedding preparations... it should be all about the temple and hopefully it is a day of reverence. I'm grateful for something like this I can read to my little girls, who are so curious and enthralled with the temple.
A friend at church shared this book with me yesterday and I just loved it. It made me cry, and so you know that is good. This is a book that every little girl should read over and over again, so that they can start dreaming of their temple wedding and not the waterdowned world's version. SO BEAUTIFUL!
Every little girl dreams of getting married. What will the day be like for your daughter who wants to be married in temple? This book is so sweet and perfectly explains what that special day will be like for her and her parents. I loved reading this book to my girls. They had me read it over and over!
