**Saturday’s GC ANNOUNCEMENT by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf**
THE FIRST PRESIDENCY AND QUORUM OF THE TWELVE: “Marriages are no longer performed in Temples” See:
http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,1227992,1227992#msg-1227992From that post:
"Under the direction of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve we are instructed to make a change to the temple wedding ceremony. The term “married for time and all eternity” will be changed with respect to all future activity in the church. We will refer to this sacred ordinance as “sealed for time and all eternity.”
"The temple will only perform sealings for the living for those who have had civil weddings first. Currently, this is the procedure in some countries in the world. However, it shall be universal to the entire body of the church in all countries beginning Monday September 1st, 2014. Again, civil marriage ceremonies shall precede all temple sealings for the living and entrance into the Lord’s sacred house shall continue to be authorized through the approved temple recommend interview process.
"The secular world is rapidly changing and the adversary seeks chaos. He seeks havoc. He seeks destruction. He aims to disrupt and hinder the work of the Lord. However, be assured that the Lord’s purposes shall be fulfilled by those who desire to keep His commandments and are obedient to the laws and ordinances of the gospel which He has set forth."
***LDS Inc. took the talk and are just a few months behind schedule to implement the civil ceremony first, and temple sealing ONLY second. That way they can keep out all the gays.
Curious that your source says NO CIVIL WEDDINGS performed by TSCC? That too, would be to keep gays out of LDS buildings to prevent any lawsuits.
So I endorse going down to the local Protestant Church, have a nice wedding, and enjoy a grand pipe organ accompaniment with your processional.
