There are many scenarios that would render inactive, newly baptized, or non-LDS families or friends unable to participate in a temple marriage ceremony. If your upcoming wedding plans include one of these scenarios, the decisions you make about ways to include those family and friends who will be unable to join you in the temple ceremony will affect not only the planning stage and the wedding day, but will probably have a lasting effect for many years to come. If your attitude is one of patience and inclusion, hearts can be softened and future relationships strengthened.
