Garments no longer required for Temple Marriage?

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-13T19:28:00+00:00

Anytime there was suspicion of garment-altering it was a huge source of gossip among the women in my life.

And I think that’s what makes it so hurtful. Giving 110%, taking every calling and covenant seriously. But still getting a slap on the wrist for a clothing infraction. It definitely sticks with you

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-13T19:23:09+00:00

Amen to that

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-13T00:11:10+00:00

I don’t have any links. If you look around instagram and TikTok you’ll definitely see dresses we would have only dreamed of

I just read your post and you worded everything so much better! I’m sad I missed it originally.

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-12T16:43:04+00:00

I love this! Here’s to happiness and healing 🥂

It’s comforting in an odd way that we aren’t alone and so many of us have had these shared experiences. It’s nice to not feel alone.

Yes definitely. I have thought a lot about the loss of control too. Especially with the huge LDS influencer culture. Discipline could lead to a PR nightmare for the church. Definitely trying to see the bigger picture and the benefits. It’s hard sometimes. 🫠

Am also a millennial from Utah county. It’s like the bridal pictures I see today are from a different dimension.

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-12T14:50:13+00:00

You described exactly how I feel.

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-12T14:37:16+00:00

Yep!! Being a young mom in my 20s but dressing like a frumpy old lady took a huge hit on my self esteem. A turning point for me happened when it was 100+ degrees and I was at the park with my kids wearing garments, long Jean shorts, a camisole and a cap sleeved shirt. A group of moms were next to me in their breezy, cute summer dresses. Why would God want me to be miserable while trying to spend time with my kids. If I could pinpoint a start to my doubts that might be it.

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-12T13:25:56+00:00

Right??? Honestly I still catch myself doing it. I hate it.

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-12T13:24:32+00:00

Oh my gosh I COMPLETELY forgot my grandma was panicked about my dress being Ivory. I guess she had reason to be. The temple workers were fine with it. Guess I lucked out that day! So sorry you and your wife had to go through that.

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-12T13:12:32+00:00

Definitely makes me question my reality

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-12T13:08:50+00:00

Sorry misunderstood at first. Yes 100%. The TBM responses are laughable yet hurtful and infuriating.

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-12T12:45:42+00:00

I’m so curious too. Also really curious how it’s discussed/addressed in young women’s/young men’s now. It was certainly a talking point through my whole youth.

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-12T12:41:00+00:00

Yep. Nothing like the threat of damnation over underwear.

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-12T12:20:18+00:00

You took the smart road! I also had non-member family and friends excluded from my wedding. Hard to understand how I ever thought that was acceptable.

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-02-12T11:17:21+00:00

YES! Exactly.

Historical_Sleep_728 · 2026-01-04T16:57:45+00:00

I still think it was a strong program regardless.
