Because that building is where you were sealed to your spouse, where you got an answer to a prayer you'd been carrying for years, where you first felt something you couldn't explain away. A stepping stone. A day you'll never forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou put it on because you want to share that with someone. Because gospel conversations are hard to start. Harder than they were on your mission, when the whole day was built around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the new white shirt and tie. The new dress.
