According to recent press reports, the FLDS consummate their marriages in their Temple. Is this something peculiar to the modern FLDS, or was this a practice in early Mormonism that the FLDS have preserved? Are/were witnesses involved? Has any reader consummated an LDS Temple? (presumably clandestinely w/o a bed).

I also heard those reports and was absolutely aghast, not because I’m FLDS but because I’m LDS and many people wonder what happens in our temples.
But before we all jump to conclusions…
I would like to think that maybe a cot or bed was available to those infirmed, or tired or workers overcome by the “spirit”.
That certainly makes more sense than the sordid explanation given in the press used for sensational and titilation purposes.

Look at the cover of the October 2007 Ensign. It’s a couple carrying what looks like overnight bags, grinning broadly, and the caption invites “Come to the Temple.”
