Now it's discrimination if we don't attend gay weddings? Hmm.
 
It is no longer illegal for a polygamous marriage ceremony (as long as it's not a "legal" marriage-license marriage) (in Utah). Did you miss that news? So how would attending that be supporting something illegal?
 
 
You are making things up. There is no hidden message that we should attend gay weddings.
 
Living together in peace means not fighting with each other. It does not mean attending social events.
 
It's a personal choice. You, and anyone, may make said personal choice. But there is no underlying church message that we should.

Wow . . . I'm shocked.  Ultimately it is your decision, But for me, absolutely not would I attend his "wedding".  And I'm the one who believes that homosexual marriages should be legal!!!
 
If my brother invited me to a strip club for his bachelor party would I attend? Heck no.  It's not an environment nor an atmosphere that I personally support.  I would love him regardless, but I'm not going to participate nor see him participate in something I severely disagree with.
 
I actually think the man who reserved rows for his family was being extremely crass.  He wanted to show to the whole world how good he is and how unforgiving, bigoted his family was . . . when I doubt that was the case.
 
If I wouldn't want my kids to attend it, then I shouldn't attend it.
 
What is wrong with this world? There are plenty of ways to show that we love someone without endorsing their behavior . . .which IMO attending his "wedding" is endorsing the behavior.
 
It reminds me of this "new" thing where parents are now letting teenagers of the opposite sex sleep over at their house under the guise that well they are going to do it anyways so it might as well be a safe environment.  Better at my house than in the back seat of a car or whereever.  I want my child to know that they can always come to me and that I love them . . . blah,blah, blah.  Okay whatever, I'm glad that I had parents who had boundaries, stuck to them, who loved me and who I knew if I crossed the line I was in it.
 
Le sigh . . . 

We don't?
 
Anybody know a good cosmetic surgeon?

We are giving you practical advice. You just don't seem to be comprehending what we are telling you.
The sizes aren't U.S. Sizes. They are sizes set by the church as the church is the manufacturer.
If it has been a while since you bought garments, your old size may not apply as sizing and numbering change from time to time. As has been previously mentioned.
The ladies at the distribution center are trained in selling garments, including the materials, sizing and any changes. There also should be sizing charts readily accessible to you at the distribution center. Have you looked for those?
As has been already stated, the church website has all of this information right there in the section where you order garments. Take your measurements and read the sizing charts. Read the one for the specific type of material you want to buy. Sizing will vary for the different materials, so this step is important.
No one here can tell you what size to buy. Take your measurements and consult the sizing charts. That will tell you what size in that particular garment you should get.
There is really no other information to give you. You gotta do the work.

Again this is why I say, look at the sizing charts on the lds.org site. They run off of inches or centimeters, not any pre-designated sizes.

So I did finally have a meeting with my Bishop - he is still fairly new, only in the position for about two months. And it turns out he knows my dad, they served in the same mission. 
 
He was wonderfully warm and kind, asked me how I believe I came to be inactive, we talked about that for a bit. And he said that he wants to meet with me regularly for a while, and that for a recommend it is required that he sees "a pattern of faithfulness" and that we will talk more as we go. 
 
I was so nervous before the meeting, of course I had no reason to be. Phew.
