I married Juanita Carol Hood on July 5th, 1963, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
One week before we were to be sealed we went to the Salt lake Temple where Carol took out her endowments.
During that session they had 103 brides going through for their endowments and they forgot to have me take Carol through the veil to have her reveal her new name to me. Four years after we were married we were living in the Orem 20th ward (where Carol had been called as the Laurel Class Teacher and one of her students was Diane Leavitt whom she later introduced to her brother Howard and were later married. I was called as the Stake Young Men’s Secretary.) and during relief society our Bishop was speaking to the Relief society sisters and he mention in his talk how the sisters should remember the day they were taken through the Veil by their fiancé to reveal their new name. That’s when Carol realized that there were so many Brides on the day that she was endowed that they failed to have me take her through the Veil to receive her new name. After the meeting she went up to Bishop Harms and told him about this and he suggested that we go back to the temple asap and have the temple re verify the name of the day of when she was endowed. We then went back to the Salt lake Temple where I was able to take her through the Veil and she revealed her new name to me.
Our reception was at a church in Pleasant Grove, and we had a line with our parents and the maid of honor and the best man. We were there from about 5 pm until 10 pm before it finished.
My Best Men were: My brother Kent, Alton Hone and Gary Pierce
Carols Maid of Honor was my sister, Colleen
Then two weeks later, Carol and I went to California, where her parents lived, and we had a second reception there.
