On Saturday afternoon, I drove to the Bountiful Temple for the wedding at 4:30. Bountiful is a medium sized town about 10 miles north of the city. The temple building is quite beautiful. Christina, Brittney's adopted sister, drove up with me and we had a nice visit in the car.

The temple building is architecturally interesting in the manner of most Mormon temples. The exterior of the building is a white stone, possibly granite, with some arcane carvings that seem to depict the progression of a solar eclipse. The temple lawn is beautifully manicured, and the flower beds are carefully tended. The traditional statue of the Angel Moroni blows his trumpet atop the temple spire. He seems to be pointing east towards the rising sun, but I am not sure if there is symbolism in that or not.

The temple is situated high up on the side of the Wasatch and the view of the city below is spectacular. I even got a few covert pictures inside the temple waiting room.
