  1. Hi Everybuggy, I'm Gwen and I'm engaged to be married this year (Nauvoo Temple), he's a convert and I'm second generation LDS. None of his family are members, my parents and siblings are but circumstances prevent most of them from being able to attend the temple. We've decided to make it just the two of us and take a mini honeymoon and then come back to celebrate. I need some advice. We'd like to do a ring ceremony for everyone to witness, the only problem is I can't find any real info on one. Searches come up with lots of anti-Mormon stuff and how it hurts families not to see the marriage ect ect. Maybe I should mention his family (and my family!) is really upset they won't see us get married. I know we shouldn't distract from the temple and the importance of the sealing ceremony. But we don't want to alienate our families! Yes we've prayed about it...and the temple is definitely where we need to be married. The feeling that's coming is a ring ceremony will help. And I think we can do a program to hand out, a picture of the temple and "Love, Now & Forever" on the cover (that's the theme of our reception), with maybe some stuff from lds.org on the importance of the temple (nothing too deep) and maybe our testimony of the temple and some scriptures and poems ect. But I'm stuck on vows, (we'd like to write them ourselves) I know they're not supposed to be like "traditional" vows and we aren't supposed to repeat what's said in the temple... Maybe something like "This ring is a reminder of my promise to love you for always..."? (Also any advice on invite/announcement wording, and whether to walk down the aisle would be appreciated!)
