    Yeah, the time between being married and getting sealed will be a new outward measurement of one's faith. If a couple doesn't get sealed the same day as getting married then their faith will be viewed as not as strong. Kind of like if you don't go on a mission as soon as you turn 18.

And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

        I like the change. As the stereotypical bitter apostate, I have been taking the past day to try to develop some type of theory about nefarious purposes why the COJCOLDS did this.

          Now that you mention it, this is a terrible change. Under the prior rule, if you wanted to attend the wedding of a loved one, you had to be a card-carrying member. Now that the heathens can attend the wedding, there's little to no impetus for them to change their ways.

                This is clearly an attempt of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to try to force non-members to listen to all the cultist propaganda that will no doubt be spewed at these weddings*

                  You really don't have to represent the stereotypical bitter apostate for every single thing. Maybe you could condense everything down into a small monthly post and then be happy the rest of the time.

                    That does not sound like the bitter apostate thing to do, so I will sadly have to deny this request.

                      Robert Kirby responds to the marriage policy change:

                      This column includes a picture of my parents at their wedding reception. They were married in the Manti Temple the day before Thanksgiving 1952. The reception was held the following week in the Fontana, Calif., Latter-day Saint meetinghouse.

                          The Salt Lake Tribune has suspended columnist Robert Kirby for three months without pay following an internal investigation after a Provo-based blogger detailed his inappropriate behavior toward her at a Mormon conference in July.
