Saturday there was a wedding in the Stake Center here on the Temple Complex. The groom was from Accra and the bride from Cape Coast. As you can see, the wedding party is not unlike one we might see at home standing on the Salt Lake Temple steps except for skin color and the groom's white suit.
The greatest difference is that this was a civil marriage. The Ghanaian government does not recognize a temple marriage as a legal marriage. South Africa just recently sent notice that it would give the temple officiators the authority to perform legal marriages. Our members in West Africa must marry civilly and then within 2 weeks they may be sealed in the temple. This couple will be sealed on Tuesday.
