I just wanted to share this sweet reminder of true romance from President and Sister Walker's Missionary blog.
"Today during the royal ceremony, the Arch Bishop of London made the statement, "Every wedding is a royal wedding." I thought of my own parents.....Today is the 74th anniversary of their wedding. (thoughtful of Will and Kate to pick this date in their honor.)
The royal wedding is a national holiday. Communities are having neighborhood parties. There will be 3 big formal parties that the couple will attend, 22 caterers, mulititudes of dignitaries, and international coverage all at a cost of £20 million.
I can't help but contrast this with that wedding 74 years ago. On April 29, 1937 my royal couple went to the temple and there, in a quiet, unassuming, unnoteworthy event, they were married. No money, no reception, a borrowed dress and a quick honeymoon to Zion National Park! But what a life!!! More than any royal couple will ever know! "
