Rebecca and Daniel sent out some invitations for a Sealing ceremony on Wednesday of that week before realizing some family wouldn't be able to make it, unless it was on a weekend. The new and final date is May 2nd, 2025.

Rebecca and Daniel would love anyone who could come to be there, but would like to keep the ceremony relatively small, and sacred, as Becca tends to get worried and distracted easily. The ceremony will take place inside the Washington DC Temple, and a pre-requisite for attending is a current Adult temple recommend. We've decided to have two different unions outside of the temple to include all family that these specifications don't apply to.

"In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the word sealing refers to the joining together of a man and a woman and their children for eternity. This sealing can be performed only in a temple by a man who has the priesthood, or the authority from God. According to Latter-day Saint belief, the sealing means these family relationships will endure after death if the individuals live according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. For Latter-day Saints, the family is essential to God’s plan as the most important unit both on earth and in eternity" ( Church News Room, Topic: Sealing).
