I may be wrong, but I thought only sealings occur in temples.  The actual marriage ceremony (where the legal documents are validated) is done outside the temple.

Here's a little more information on that question, from lds.org:

5. Civil Ceremony Preceding Temple Sealing. Marriages in temples in the United States and Canada are recognized by the law of the land as approved marriages, but laws in London, Switzerland, and New Zealand require persons desiring to be sealed in these temples to be married civilly first. In New Zealand, for example, the law requires that all marriages be performed in a place that is open to the public. Consequently, couples are generally married civilly first in the visitors center chapel or one of the ward chapels, following which they go immediately to the temple for their sealing.

Would any-1 happen to know if local civic leaders are told or briefed on what transpires inside the temples?

How can they know for sure that what is done inside can be considered civically correct?

 

 

Thx,

Can we drive Hondas to the Temple?
