word an lds marriage announcement
It's interesting:"It is said that a Fall wedding is a very special one, because at a time when so much of the life around us is changing colors and dying, we gather together for a celebration of life and a brand new beginning. Indeed, today we are very privileged to welcome a new married couple into the world. I hope that every time you celebrate your anniversary, you will always think back to this wonderful Autumn day and remember all the love and warmth that you feel in this room right now."
Remembering proper etiquette and other social rules when wording a wedding announcement or invitation can be hard, and there are even more elements added when announcing an LDS, or Mormon, wedding. Sealing rooms in Latter-Day Saints temples, where the ceremonies are performed, have limited capacity, so not everyone can be invited. Still, you may wish to announce your marriage to friends and family who could not be accommodated at the ceremony. In this case, you can send out a simple wedding announcement, without an actual invitation.
Instructions
1
Write the names of the bride's parents first by writing "Mr. and Mrs.," followed by the bride's father's full name. For example, "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith."
2
Underneath the bride's parents' names, write a line indicating that this couple is announcing the marriage of their daughter. For instance, "are pleased to announce the marriage of their daughter."
3
Write the bride's first and middle name only on a separate line. Do not write the bride's last name, as it has already been indicated by the listing of her parents' names.
4
Write "to" on the line underneath the bride's name.
5
Announce the full name of the groom (last name included this time) on the next line.
6
Indicate the groom's parents by writing, "son of Mr. and Mrs. [groom's father's full name]."
7
Write out the date, completely spelled out on the next line. For example, "Saturday, the thirteenth of August, two thousand eleven."
8
Announce the temple or chapel in which the wedding will take place. Write the city first, followed by "Temple/Chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints." For instance, "Orlando, Florida Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints."
Tips &- Warnings
To specifically invite someone to the ceremony, include an invitation card in the envelope with the announcement, indicating the time of the ceremony and any other relevant information.
If there are step-parents on either the bride or groom's side, they may be listed in addition to the biological parents, at the discretion of the parties involved. Although it is traditional to identify the bride's and groom's parents as "Mr. and Mrs.," defer to individual preference.
