Meantime, plans are goirjg forward witH florist, caterer, minister, priest, or bishop for the important day. While all this is going on, the couple is busy finding the place they'll call home, which involves many hours of house or ' apartment hunting or they may be making plans for building their own home. There' the problem of furniture and furnishings, of curtains and drapes, of carpet and bed spreads J . . all the business of acquiring the setting for their marriage. There's the nervous and exciting trip to the license bureau and the necessary; health examinations. And,, of course, there're ihe family dinners and the crucial pre-weddi- ng .; , 'i Each community develops its own pat-- " tern of wedding and reception customs and Pro vo and Utah County, are no exception. Currently one of the most popular customs is the large reception in, a public hall or; church building following a ceremony in an LDS jtemple or at home, or in a chapel. Others prefer a ceremony in a church or at one of the LDS temples followed by a garden reception at th a hundred different w,ays to create the bride's gown.

' Among the more pleasant jobs that faces the bride is shopping.' Satins, laces, tulles and other fabrics are combined irt bride's home. One of the outstanding; differences in wedding customs for Utah is the delaying of the reception for a day or two after the ceremony and for the bride to wear her bridal- jxstume for th reception. Understood hee where people realize the problem! of traveling for the wedding ceremony in an LDS temple, it puzzles outsiders not familiar with this accepted custom. Trousseau, bridal costume, place and time of the wedding and reception are of course the big items, but human nature being the peculiar compound of perplexities that it is, there are of ten small personal problems that turn suddenly from molehills into awesome mountains.
