I, as a convert, (obviously? LOL) had none of my family at my temple wedding. Only my DHs. Honestly? It didn’t bother me that much. In the grand scheme of life, my wedding day and my marriage is between/about me, my husband, and God. If we could have done it with just us and the sealer, I would have. If my In-laws had offered to stand outside with my family (like in that article) I would have made sure that they did, LOL. nightwalden wrote:Mormons do a crap job with Easter anyway. In your average ward, maybe you would get a couple of talks about Christ’s last week, crucifixion and resurrection and a couple of hymns with Easter themes. From my experience, SS is almost never focused on Easter because they have to follow the schedule and it’s mostly the same for RS/Priesthood though there tends to be more leeway there. I often go to other churches for Easter.
I’d rather have GC because that means sleeping in on the east coast. The Church could change it’s GC schedule to accommodate for Easter, but unless it changes the regular mormon Sunday worship services for Easter, it’s not going to happen.
I agree, and I think this is part of my issue.
Most of the time, I love Conference. But I think Easter should be recognized better. And I was just really put off by all of the “Who cares about Easter” type of comments I’ve received.
I like conference, and I like Easter. I don’t want them to have to share my time I guess. LOL.
I like the suggestion of going to another church, but I highly doubt that would fly with my husband.
Thanks for reading my rambles.

I’m not there yet (my kids are still toddlers and I’m still very ‘in’) but this is my biggest fear.
*raises hand* I’m a convert. But where I live, it is more common to be a convert that it is to be BIC. So I don’t really feel out of place. I do understand what you mean about ‘simplistic questions’ though. I do sometimes feel a little left behind since I didn’t go to seminary or whatever. I’m sorry you’re feeling this way, and I’m sorry I can’t be of more help.
