Manuel, Oscar and I were staying in a hotel. It was so good to have a few moments with just one of our children! This occasion was particularly great, since it was right before his wedding.
Tito gave us some good advise on things we need to do to make Manny's wedding day more relaxing. Poor Tito, being our oldest, he has endure probably the most mistakes from us! But we are grateful for his sound advise.
We arrived at the temple early and very relax (at least Oscar and I were relaxed!) Tiffany and her parents arrived a little later, then her grandparents. Two of Manny's mission companions came - Elder Bowcut and Elder - of course they're not missionaries anymore, but I love them so much! They were such good companions! David Rusk also came, he has been Manny's best friend since they were three years old.
Oscar and Tiffany's Dad were the witnesses, so they all went inside right away and I stayed in the waiting room until all our family arrived. The Browns, the Ralphs and the Hansen also came.
One side of the room was filled with Tiffany's family, the other side had our little family. I wish we had more of the extended family there with us, but I sure was very grateful and it felt so wonderful to have four of our five children there in the temple with us. Of course we would have loved to have Danny there also, but we are so happy he is serving a mission now!
The sealer was wonderful and he gave great counsel to Tiffany and Manny. Everybody in the room was uplifted by his words. I can't express how very happy I was to witness this special day and, like I said, to have most of our children and their spouses there with us!
