Single Mormon Twentysomething ties the knot
I sat nervously in the Draper, Utah temple, waiting for my wife of 30 minutes to emerge from the dressing room. I tried to quietly reflect on the ceremony and the covenants I had made, but every time a girl dressed in white walked by, I quickly jumped to my feet. And if you know anything about LDS temples, you can probably imagine that this reaction didnt allow for much reverent pondering.
After an excruciating 15 minutes, one of the temple matrons who had been helping my bride approached me and whispered, "Congratulations on your marriage. I guess now youll have to find a new name for your column."
And so here I am, writing to you for the first time since I've officially shed the "single, Mormon twentysomething" label and become a "newlywed."
