Hmm, that one is interesting, since a day's travel could be very different distances for different people. You could be a poor person in Africa who lives only a hundred miles from a temple but who couldn't get there in a day, or you could be an old person in the outskirts of Orlando who takes an entire day to drive the 20 miles to the temple.

In Chile, the Church's weddings aren't recognized by the state/country. So You have to get married civilly first, and then you can get sealed in the temple. I believe there is about a 10 day grace period where you can get sealed after a civil wedding, though I'm not sure what the exact number is.

I would imagine the council is there to prevent things from happening like "Well, let's just get married civilly and try it out... if we don't last then no harm, no foul we can get divorced and not worry about the temple." Or the famous "trip to Vegas weddings to have sex" followed by a quick annullment.
