I'm puzzling over this and maybe someone here can help me to understand it?
So I read this.
"This is mostly a rant about the silly verbiage in our faith, and how it gets abused so badly, we don’t even realize we’re doing it. Things like: “I took out my own endowment”. The endowment ceremony in the temple is not fast food. You don’t take it out. The endowment is a gift. Just like a wedding endowment. It’s something you receive, not something you take out and eat when you get home. Instead, it should be: “I have received my endowment”."
http://iamlds.org/?p=46And I thought it was funny. Mostly because his precious "Gospel" is spoofed as "Fast Food" by his own church.

What does that mean? Like a gift of money for "The Happy Couple?" Or is it more like the temple sealing is "another endowment???"
I've read the sealing "covenants" and all they are is a reiteration of the endowment "covenants."
So to Google I go. All I find for "Wedding Endowments" LDS are of couple of interesting links.

And then this.
