We talked about what a marriage is and what society says that they should be. In class it was brought up whether or not it was okay for couples to have ring ceremonies in addition to temple marriages. Someone made the comment that its as advised by the brethren not to do that, but we talked about how difficult it would be for the family of those who were getting married but were unable to be in the Temple.
There is a saying that I would like to eventually shape my future by and it says, "I want a marriage more beautiful than my wedding."
The importance of being married in the temple is very high to me, but the importance of a reception that society deems respectable isn't. The only thing that should matter from that point on is how my husband and I strive to grow together in happiness and the Gospel.
