No, only those that are active members of the Church may enter one of our temples. So, the nonmember family of a person may not enter a temple to participate in a wedding.

Probably, the mormons "baptise" any relation of a mormon person, including parents, even if they directly follow a different religion.

No, even their parents who are Mormon may not attend if the father has not done a mission.

Unfortunatly no. However, most children in this situation compensate by having another civil marriage outside the temple so their parents and non-member friends can attend.

I am an ex-member of the church but when I was a member going for my perfect temple wedding seeing as I was first generation Mormon in my family well I couldn't have invited them. the reason is all of our temples are like.......the Vatican or.......a synagog. its a very holy place for very holy people. the reason temple grounds are so secret and you have to be worthy is that sacred ordinances are performed there, that people born and raised in the church don't even know about until they themselves are granted a special right to perform it. also for the people that do go there they don't want a bunch of people running through the halls pointing and laughing and children screaming. this place is so quiet and peaceful even outside that you can spend hours at total peace not saying a word, really learning who you are.

Simply put: No

No, only adult members are allowed into the temple. Many couples choose to have a separate service to exchange rings after the temple ceremony if they have many friends or family who are excluded from the temple.

As others have rightly pointed out, the answer is no. The temple is an *extremely* sacred place, and while the Church invites anyone that so desires to tour it, before its dedication, it will ultimately become a place “set apart” from the world. Part of this includes restrictions on who can enter. Put simply, admittance is only granted to those that are living their lives in accordance with Christ’s teachings, those who can in good conscience appropriately answer a series of questions from their Priesthood leaders (e.g. “Do you believe in Jesus Christ?”; “Do you sustain Church leaders?”; “Are you faithful to your spouse?” etc.). Furthermore, since the covenants made in the temple are extremely important, it is recommended that new Church members wait at least a year, before receiving certain ordinances (including Eternal marriage, which is the ultimate ordinance of the temple). So again, the short answer is no, but the long answer is that it’s not because we think we’re somehow better than everyone else; it’s just that we want to make sure that the temple remains as pure as is humanly possible to make it, and that the individuals who attend the temple are sufficiently prepared for the experience. HTH!

I have read the answers and am very disappointed! That parents cannot be present at a child's wedding is very sad - what other religion cuts families in two?

So, Mormons do not believe in honoring their mother and father then? I mean unless the mother and the father are Mormon as well? I was unaware of this rule. It seems entirely wrong to deny parents who love and support their child the joy of seeing their child married just because they are not Mormon. There's some fine family values.

Something worth thinking about is that the temple wedding ordinance is actually attended by very few people. The couple being married. The person performing the ceremony, and a few witnesses, usually drawn from family, but not including the entire extended family. . The social part of an LDS wedding is the reception, at which all are welcome, member and non-member alike. . This differs from weddings outside the church, where the wedding itself is them main event, and the reception is secondary.
