FAQs

Question

What is a Temple marriage?

Answer

A temple marriage, more specifically called a temple sealing, is a ceremony in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where a couple is married not just for this life, or “until death do you part,” but for eternity. During the ceremony, we kneel across an altar and make promises to each other and to God. It is one of the most meaningful parts of our wedding day. Please come to the temple grounds to celebrate with us right after!

Question

Can anyone attend the temple marriage?

Answer

The temple marriage will take place inside the Payson Utah Temple. Because of the religious nature of the ceremony, attendance inside is limited for those who receive a unique invitation. We invite all friends and family to gather on the temple grounds right after the ceremony to celebrate with us. We’re so excited to see you as we exit the temple and take photos together! Please come dressed in your Formal Garden Party Attire (see Dress Code tab).
