The length of a Mormon wedding ceremony outside of the temple is up to the couple and depends on their family and cultural traditions. Most often the wedding ceremony simply consists of the saying of vows and a short blessing and pronouncement of the marriage, just like any wedding ceremony. Some couples may choose to have a special song or poem. I have attended many Mormon wedding ceremonies, both in and out of the temple. They ranged from 10 to 30 minutes.

Who marries the Mormon couple?
An engaged couple in which one or both members belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) may choose to have their marriage performed by any of the following:-A civil authority, such as a judge-A non-Mormon religious authority, such as a Pastor of another Christian faith, so long as that faith is okay with performing such a marriage-Anyone else legally authorized to perform a marriage-The Bishop of the bride or groom's Mormon congregation, except in some foreign countries which do not legally authorize Mormon Bishops to perform marriages or in the case of same-sex marriages. (The Mormon Church will not allow same-sex marriages to be performed by their clergy or in their church buildings)A wedding ceremony performed by any of the above people may be performed in nearly any venue the couple may choose, including a courthouse, reception hall, home, outdoors, or a church building.If both members of the couple are faithful practicing Mormons, they will likely choose a Temple wedding. This marriage ceremony can be performed only by an ordained Temple Sealer or one of the Twelve Apostles or First Presidency of the Church and must take place inside a Mormon Temple. In some nations, a couple must have a civil wedding prior to a Temple wedding, because Temple Sealers may not recognized by their governments to perform legally binding marriages.

Why do Mormons wear long sleeved wedding dresses?
If a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) is getting married in the temple, there are some strict guidelines as to what is acceptable for a wedding dress. The utmost modestly is required of men and women in the temple. A woman's dress (no matter what she is doing in the temple) must be floor length, have long sleeves, be completely white with no color ornamentation, have no sheer fabrics that are not lined, and must be simple and void of excessive ornamentation.Many brides getting married in the temple choose to have a long sleeve dress for the temple ceremony and another short sleeve dress for photos and the reception. Most temples also provide long sleeve white jackets to be worn over wedding dresses that do not have long sleeves.If a member of the Church chooses not to get married in the temple, but gets married in a church meetinghouse, outdoors, or some other location, they can wear whatever dress they want. Most choose to wear a short sleeved dress in keeping with the modestly guidelines of the Church.You can see some examples of wedding dress choices for Mormon brides at the "Related Link" below.
