I'm going there someday...


One of the most common things people ask me when I tell them where I'm getting married is, "Manti? Oh why Manti?" Why Manti? Well I sure have a list for you my friends! Manti just has a special spirit that draws me to it. Its my favorite temple because of that. I love the beauty of Salt lake, Draper, Bountiful, Timp, etc, but Manti just carries a sweet, peaceful presence with it. Whenever I am driving towards Manti, and I see that temple sitting on that hill, I can't help but smile. It's just me. There is no way to explain it. Manti is just everything I want. Sure, we are sacrificing 2 hours worth of time when we travel just to get there, sure we won't be able to have all of the family there because the rooms are teeny. (Still a tinsy sad about that.) But I just can't help but have a particular fascination with Manti.

  1. The Manti Temple sure is beautiful. Darryl and I have both done some sessions there and it was splendid. I'm excited that you and Jimmy have chosen to be sealed there!

  2. Manti is amazing! Don't worry about the 2 hour thing, it's nothing. My sister was married there, my parents, both set of grandparents and my great grandparents.
    You will love Manti and it will be WORTH IT!
