Our reception date was set for June 24th and then we were going to go through the "Endowment House" June 25th to take out our endowments and be married.
I stood in the kitchen area in the basement of "The Building" in curlers, preparing the refreshments for our reception. It gave me time to ponder and think.. do I really want to do this? The answer was always, YES!
The reception was simple, elegant and inexpensive! At the end we filled up our car with all the gifts and I headed back to my mothers home, in West Valley. I would have to drive back very early in the morning to attend the endowment session with Brian. Drove to Becky's house in Riverton to pick up Brian and we headed to Bluffdale.
We sat in a room for a while waiting for everyone else to show up. Then someone came in and gave a kind of speech then lead us back to the dressing rooms where we changed into our White clothing.
The message of the Endowment was a good message but as for "Feeling" anything... I didn't. No warmth, no uplifting sense of what we were doing was right. The best words I can use is a Beautiful Box.. with nothing in it.
The only part I felt anything while in there was while I was being married to Brian. We both cried!
Afterwords, we both got into the car and drove off together for the first time as Husband and Wife. We did some shopping together then spent our first time together in Sandy in a hotel.
The next day we attended church. Everyone kept asking what were we doing there?? Our flight to Hawaii didn't leave till the next morning.
