Kirby: Now families can be together not only forever but also at their kids’ weddings

This column includes a picture of my parents at their wedding reception. They were married in the Manti Temple the day before Thanksgiving 1952. The reception was held the following week in the Fontana, Calif., Latter-day Saint meetinghouse.

Here’s the thing: If you look really hard at the picture, you might catch a glimpse of me. See I was there, too. Mom was almost three months along with me when this picture was taken.

Note: Yeah, I asked her if I could reveal that personal fact. She says she made her peace with it a long time ago.
