How can it be binding when neither "bride" or "groom" can be present to say their I Do's?

How can it be binding when neither "bride" or "groom" can be present to say their I Do's?

My understanding, derived from Mormon relatives, is that it is only 'binding' IF the deceased in Paradise accept.

IOW, like "baptism for the dead", it is conditional; and it is all LDS BS, since:

Matt 22:29-30

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
