Family Night - Temple Marriage
We had our annual anniversary family night. Every year the Monday closest to our anniversary we have a family home evening lesson about temple marriage. I put on my wedding dress and talk to the kids about being an eternal family. We watch our wedding video and the kids love to see Mom & Dad smash each other with the cake. This year the girls found some old dresses of mine and put them on so they could be the bridesmaids. The girls love this! They each have to have a turn wearing the wedding dress also. Joshua isn't as into this as the girls are. We had a nice talk about marriage, the right time and place to get married. Joshua just sits there and grins when we talk about it. He is finally admitting he likes girls, but Maleah...well... she is not quite ready for the whole idea. She stated that she was making a note to herself about marriage and the answer is NO, she is not doing that! We shall see! We finished up our family night with cake of course. It is a fun tradition and only a little embarrassing when someone shows up at the house and your husband invites them in. I am truly thankful for my sweet husband, that we were married in the temple, and for the knowledge that I have that we can be together forever.

Wow you don't look nearly as short when you are standing next to your daughters in your wedding dress! he he he he. Just teasing, you look adorable in your dress and I love that the girls are your bridesmaids! What a cool tradition. Maybe my boys would like if Jess and I did that!(or not)
I love that you can still wear your wedding dress! Cute tradition!!
What a great tradition and a fun picture! I'm thankful that my wedding dress is carefully packed away in the box from the dry cleaners. That way I don't have to take it out to see that it doesn't fit!
I love this tradition! What a great, great idea. I can see how your girls would love it.
