On the morning of June 3, we were honored to attend Meimei Lu and Sam Mansfield’s live sealing in the Washington DC Temple. Brother Gene Schaerr performed the sealing. It was a moment to rejoice to them marry in the temple under temple covenants. In the evening, we went to the Foulger-Pratt Farm for the ring ceremony for Meimei and Sam. As we sat in the hot sun, Brother Schaerr conducted the program. After toasts by Meimei’s sister and Sam’s brother and Meimei’s father and Sam’s father, there were musical performances by the Lu family, then by Sam and Meimei, and then by the Mansfield family. Then they exchanged rings. Everyone went into the barn for food and dancing.
