Ordinances Ready
I have found that Ordinances Ready is providing names for Couple Sealings where the ordinances of Baptism, Confirmation, Initiatory and Endowment have not been completed. This is contrary to the standard instructions we receive when doing family names. These instructions have been (and continue to be) that all previous ordinances are to be completed BEFORE sealing husband and wife.
I would like to understand whether or not I should proceed to use these names as provided by Ordinances Ready. It would be helpful to understand the underlying logic.
Thank you.

This is an ongoing dilemma, for many Members of the Church.
The matter, has been canvased, on numerous occasions, in the various 'iteration' for the 'FamilySearch' Forums.
Really, the choice is yours, whether or not, to do the "Temple" Work of "Sealing to Spouse" that OrdinanceReady" provides.
Short Answer:
'Yes', you can proceed, with the "Temple" Work of "Sealing to Spouse" that OrdinanceReady" provides.
[ If you so desire; but, of course, you DO NOT have to, if you do not want to. ]
As an aside ...
One does not really have to be too concerned ...
We have been advised, that regardless if "Ordinances" are done 'Out of Sequence', not to worry; as, those "Ordinances" that are done 'Out of Sequence' simply DO NOT take effect, UNTIL the prerequisite "Ordinances" are "Completed".
And, most importantly ...
"Ordinances" that are done 'Out of Sequence' DO NOT have to be done again; as, they are STILL "Valid".
Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':
Ordinances performed out of order
https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/ordinances-performed-out-of-order
Which states, among other things:
Quote
------------------
Vicarious ordinances performed out of sequence are valid, but they become effective only after the prerequisite ordinances are completed.
------------------
And ...
Correct order of temple ordinances
https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/correct-order-of-temple-ordinances
Which states, among other things:
Quote
------------------
Although vicarious ordinances performed out of sequence are valid, they become effective only after the prerequisite ordinances are completed.
------------------
And ...
Of course ...
Why are the temple ordinance dates out of order in Family Tree?
Where it states, among other things:
Quote
------------------
- The ordinances were inadvertently or intentionally performed out of order in error.
------------------
Plus ...
Most IMPORTANTLY ...
In one of the aforementioned "Knowledge Article":
Ordinances performed out of order
https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/ordinances-performed-out-of-order
Which states, among other things:
Quote
------------------
It is preferable to have the ordinances done in sequence
[ Note: The Words ... It is preferable ]
------------------
And ...
In the other of the aforementioned "Knowledge Article":
Correct order of temple ordinances
https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/correct-order-of-temple-ordinances
It also states, among other things:
Quote
------------------
The FamilySearch Family Tree website does not clear ordinances if prerequisite ordinances have not been cleared or performed.
[ And ]
- Sealing of a husband and wife and sealing of children to parents (if possible). Whenever possible, parents should be sealed to each other before the children are sealed to the parents.
[ Note: The Words ... Whenever possible ]
------------------
So, basically ...
Do not be too concerned ...
'Yes', you can proceed, with the "Temple" Work of "Sealing to Spouse" that OrdinanceReady" provides.
[ If you so desire; but, of course, you DO NOT have to, if you do not want to. ]
The choice is yours.
I hope that this helps, somewhat.

Hello wkfairchild9
Welcome to the FamilySearch community, and thank you for your question regarding Ordinance Ready and Sealings out of order of completed Ordinances.
Ordinance Ready offers Ordinances to done by individuals able to do the Ordinances. B & C's are being done by our young men and women in large groups. Endowments take longer. Sealings, like B & C's, can be done for whole families at one time.
Although vicarious ordinances performed out of sequence are valid, they become effective only after the prerequisite ordinances are completed.
Correct order of temple ordinances
