Appropriate Temple Attire

So, I thought this was a given, but when going to the temple for your wedding day make sure to wear appropriate temple attire. This means Sunday dress. This does not mean in your jammie pants and t-shirt, bunny slippers and hair in curlers (true story).

The temple is not your dressing room. It is the Lord’s house. Just try to remember that—even on your wedding day. Arrive at the temple ready to be married (with the exception of changing into your dress). Everything else (hair and make-up) should be done. They do not ask you to come early to the temple so you have time to get ready. It’s because there are several things that you need to do when you get there, including: records verification, changing, meeting with the matron and sealer, and possibly participating in a pre-wedding sacred ceremony.

This is the Lord’s house. That should not be taken lightly. He gave us these buildings to be a place of worship and to participate in sacred ordinances. If He would be happy with the way you are dressed then you’re okay.
