If a person has already been sealed in the temple and then gets a divorce, they need approval from the first presidency of the church before they can be sealed to another person. This process is often quick, but can sometimes take a very long time. When Brandon and Ally got married, they didn’t want to risk a delay from Salt Lake messing up their plans so they decided to get married civily first (see my 1 Jan 2023 journal entry) and then get sealed later. Well, they just got permission to be sealed to each other. For a number of reasons, they didn’t file the paperwork right away but once they did file the paperwork this came sooner than I had expected.
Cardston was my dads temple, he married mom in that temple, Lisa and I got married in that temple and my Dad was the Engineer in the Cardston temple during the time that it was remodelled. Since it is the temple where both Lisa and I were first endowed, we view the Cardston temple as our temple. I do have to admit that after attending and serving in the San Diego temple for forty years it is also our temple but Cardston was first.
I always used to think that the Cardston temple was one of the uglier temples. I mean look at it, it is just a big lump of granite sitting on the prarie but looking at it now I can see the beauty in it. I understand the architec wanted it to blend into and enhance the beauty of the mountains behind it. I think he achieved what he was going for. It is a beautiful temple.
