Mom and Dad were endowed and married in the Salt Lake Temple. They boarded the train in Idaho Falls which would have been about 12:00 A.M. They traveled all night to Salt Lake City. They arrived about 8:00 A.M. They were in a place they had never been before. 1st they had to find the courthouse and get a license to be married. Then they had to get to the temple for their endowments and marriage. I cannot even imagine the trauma of a strange place, all alone, no friends or family to direct and help you, to be at your side to hold your hand, only each other. If my memory is correct, two temple workers were assigned to be their escorts. We are so blessed to have temples that dot the land, closer to home. Dear friends to fill in when family are unavailable. Let us count our blessings.
