MY mom and dad were married civilly on I think a Saturday and were sealed in the temple on Monday. The following month the church changed it and said you needed to wait a whole year. I think my mom said it was to discourage people from having a regular wedding first which in my opinion tends to be very worldly. Makes sense. If you don't/didn't want to wait a year, be sealed first and don't get married outside the temple. Seems pretty simple. People's responses are very confusing. The original question was: "I am getting married a second time and would like to know why I have to wait a year (after our civil ceremony) to get sealed?" The simple answer: Because those are the rules which the church changed back in the mid 1960's.
