I think they hv a bedroom for newly married couples in the SLC temple…and correct me if I’m wrong, but I think there was a small window that older, more-experienced couples wld look through and maybe give instructions to the newly betrothed. Has anyone heard anything like this or bn thru the SLC temple? Do they ALL hv ‘honeymoon suites’? It wld make sense…get married and hey, we’re already here at our honeymoon! And it’s lucky that we hv old ppl givin us instructions bc we hv NO IDEA wat we’re doin! We’re ignorant virgins! As th Church Lady used to say: well isn’t that conveeeeeenient!
