I found a large company assembled, the house was filled to overflowing, we opened our interview by singing and prayer suited to the occasion after which I made some remarks in relation to the duties that are incumbent on husbands and wives, in particular the great importance there is in cultivating the pure principles of the institution, in all it’s bearings, and connexions with each other and society in general

I then invited them to arise and join hands, and pronounced the ceremony according to the rules and regulations of the Church of the latterday Saints

Closed after which I pronounced such blessings upon their heads as the Lord put into my heart even even the blessings of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, and dismissed by singing and prayer we then took some refreshment our hearts were made glad with the fruit of the vine, this is according to pattern, set by our Saviour himself, and we feel disposed to patronize all the institutions of heaven
