36. Furious to The Max
My cousin converted to Mormonism, so he could marry his girlfriend who was hardcore Mormon in the Mesa, AZ Temple. Apparently, you have to schedule an appointment month in advance to get a spot in the temple wedding schedule so their wedding ended up being in the middle of June when it was like 115 degrees outside. Non-Mormons are forbidden from entering the temple so they have to wait outside on the lawn for the bride and groom to emerge. Our family of 50-plus showed up to see them “emerge married” and ended up waiting 2 hours because the temple was running behind schedule. A few people left, and the rest of us were dying of heat exhaustion. We had to meet them on the lawn because they said they weren’t having a reception, just the temple ceremony. Afterwards, we found out that they did indeed have a reception and lied about it because the bride’s mother didn’t want us dirty non-Mormons there. My aunt was heartbroken, and the rest of us were pretty pissed. My cousin and his wife are a**hol*s.
