You are not a Mormon your daughter is Mormon and is getting married in the Temple Can you just walk in the door?

Most temples will have a waiting area, right inside the front doors, for family and friends who do not currently have a temple recommend or who are not members of the church, but you cannot go farther than that point.

Your daughter is getting married in a Mormon temple you are not Mormon Can you just walk into the temple?
No. Only members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) with a special reccomendation from their bishop can enter a Temple after it is dedicated (Temples are open for public tours before their dedication.) Many temples have a visitor center or lobby where people who are not members of the Church may wait for family or friends who are getting married, you can call the specific temple or ask your daughter if this is available. If your daughter is getting married in a Meetinghouse, you can definitely just walk in. Meetinghouses are used for regular Sunday worship services and are open to all. If you are going to be disappointed not seeing your daughter's Temple wedding ceremony, you might consider asking if she would be willing to do a separate ring ceremony outside the temple. This would resemble a traditional wedding ceremony and be held after the Temple wedding ceremony. Your daughter's (or her fiance's) bishop would probably be happy to perform a ring ceremony at a Meetinghouse free of charge. This way all your family and friends can attend. You can learn more about the difference between Temples and Meetinghouses at the "Related Links" below.
Do you have to be baptized to be married in a Mormon church?
You do not need to be baptized to be married in a Mormon church. However, you do need to be baptized to be married in an LDS (Mormon) Temple. The temple is where members of the church are married for "time and all eternity", believing that through the power of priesthood authority which was restored to the earth through Heavenly Messengers to the prophet Joseph Smith, their marriage will be valid after death. See Mormon.org
Is it still illegal when you get married without even getting registered at the temple?
As this is in the LDS Temples category I will answer it from that perspective - Laws vary by country, but in the United States, Mormon Temples and those ordained as Temple Sealers are recognized as authorities who can bind a legal marriage. If you are married in a Mormon Temple, it is recognized as a legally binding marriage by the government. It is NOT illegal to get married in a Mormon temple, and the Church has to operate under the laws of the government in performing a marriage within their temples. If you do not get married in the Temple, but are married by another authority (bishop, priest, civil authority) it is still a legally binding marriage, assuming you went through the proper channels. It is not recognized as an eternal marriage by the Church, but it is certainly a legal marriage and is recognized by the Church as such. Your marriage does NOT need to be registered in the temple in order to be considered valid by the church.
Can a mormon girl marry a guy with kids?
Yes, if she wants to! If the guy is not a member of the church, they will not be able to be married in the temple, but they can be married in a Mormon Meetinghouse by her bishop for free or in any other kind of ceremony.
Can a Mormon get married in a Maronite Church?
I don't know what a maronite church is, but the real question is "Why would they?" If they were marrying a maronite, then sure, they could marry in a maronite church. But if two Mormons (Man and Woman, for clarification) they would get married in a Mormon Temple or a Mormon meeting house.
What is Mormons place of worship called?
A temple or Mormon temple.
Is it possible to be sealed in the Mormon temple after a civil marriage?
Yes. This is actually extremely common. Married couples who convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are encouraged to be sealed in the temple. Additionally, Mormon couples who were unable or unworthy to be sealed in the temple on their wedding day are encouraged to have a civil ceremony and then be sealed in the temple later on. Also, some countries require couples to have a civil ceremony before they can be sealed in the temple, because they do not recognize the temple sealing as a legal marriage. While being sealed in the temple on your wedding day is the ideal, it only happens about half the time, and possibly less often than that.
Does Utah have the tallest Mormon temple in the world?

Why won't Mormons let non-Mormons in theirchurches not even for weddings?
Church buildings (also called 'meetinghouses' or 'chapels') and worship services of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are open to all people - regardless of their faith. Perhaps you are thinking of the Temple? Mormon Temples are not the same as churches. Churches are used for worship services, activities, and classes and are always open to the public. There are about 20,000 Mormon churches around the world. Temples are used only for special ceremonies (like weddings). There are about 140 Mormon temples around the world. The public is invited to tour Mormon temples for about a month before they are dedicated, but following the dedication Mormon temples are open only to actively practicing Mormon adults who have received a special recommendation from their Bishop (This means that even many Mormons cannot enter the Temple). This is because the Temple is considered an extremely sacred place, and only those who are living righteous lives are worthy to participate in the sacred ceremonies there. This is not a new concept - the Temples in the Old Testament were open only to certain people deemed 'worthy' as well. Mormons are encouraged to be married in the Temple, believing that those married in the Temple will be married for all eternity, while those married outside the Temple are married until death only. Mormons view a marriage ceremony as a deeply personal experience between a husband and wife, not a grand affair for hundreds of people to watch. It is customary for Mormons (even those choosing to be married outside the Temple) to have a small private ceremony followed by a large reception or party for friends, family, and acquaintances.

What happens to a Mormon who gets married but doesn't go to the temple?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) believe that marriages performed outside of the Temple are for "time only", meaning that the marriage will only last until death, and the couple will not remain married in heaven. If the couple is not 'sealed' together in the temple in their lifetime, they can be sealed together by proxy after death. If this 'sealing' never takes place, the couple will not be married to each other in heaven. A 'sealing' is an ordinance that can be performed at the time of the legal marriage or any time after. To be 'sealed', a couple will kneel at an altar in the temple and their union will be blessed to last throughout eternity. If they each live faithful lives, they will not be separated at death, but will remain together in heaven. So if a Mormon gets married and never has their marriage 'sealed' in the temple, and nobody performs this sealing for them after they die, they will not be with their spouse in heaven.
