Temple Wedding Time Capsules! Woohoo!
When I was 16, a junior in high school & a "Laurel" in my church's
Young Women organization, we made a "Husband/Temple/Wedding Time Capsule"{whatever you want to call it!} and I absolutely loved it! Our leaders displayed their wedding dresses and provided all the necessary items to put into our #10 cans. I decided not to seal my capsule so that I could look at it from time to time to remind me of my goals of an eternal marriage to a worthy priesthood holder ...while others chose to seal their cans at the cannery & did not open them til they became engaged!
After my husband and I became engaged we had a little picnic in my front yard and I showed him everything in the #10 can and read the letters I wrote to my "future husband" as well as the printed out
Ensign articles on marriage. It was a great way to fuel the desire for a temple marriage & absolutely all the Young Women in my ward loved it! This was one of my all time favorite activities in Young Women's.
-Outside cover for your #10 can
-Customizable activity invitation to "attend the reception"
-List entitled, "Qualities to Develop in Myself"
-List entitled, "Qualities My Husband Must Have"
-Another list entitled, "My future Family" where the YW can list their future children's names
-Page where they can write about their future Wedding Plans
-Page to glue magazine/catalog cut outs of their future Wedding ring & dress
You can also include printed out talks in your temple time capsules such as...
&
A hand written letter to future husband, written testimony, a photograph of the YW, temple handkerchief and/or envelope as a symbol of purity, paint chips or fabric swatches in wedding colors...anything else meaningful & representative of the YW at the time!
Hope you enjoy putting on this activity as much as I enjoyed being a part of it as a youth & now in designing these to share!
XOXO,
Brittany
