Looks like Shades may have been onto something here.

Not sure why this thread is in Telestial, but this thread necro seems appropriate:

Since when is being sealed in the temple a requirement for a couple who are legally and lawfully married to have sex? That's nuts.

That's what she said while holding her new husband's.

I will, of course, be sending my co-worker a link to this story as soon as he returns to the country.

Someone tell us about the Mitt Romney wedding- his wife had converted from episcopal to lds and having her non - member family participate in a "wedding" was a "must"!

There were only 13 temples when the Romneys married in 1969, none of which were anywhere near Michigan. I believe the policy always allowed exceptions when a temple was more than 1 day's travel away.

However, the Romneys obviously had the resources to fly to a temple at will, so at a minimum, someone looked the other way for them.
