Yes, after sincere repentance.
Note that a couple must wait at least a year after a civil marriage before they can be sealed in the temple, so if the bishop says marrying the person is part of the repentance process be aware of this timeline.

Absolutely. Mormon's believe in repentence and forgiveness. Any member who is living worthily can go in the temple and can be sealed there. By sealed I mean married for time and eternity, not just time.

I had PLENTY of sex before marriage both with the woman I married (in the temple) AND with a few others.
I got married in the temple without repenting, imagine that.
I'm also ok, no fear of death, no bad injuries, i have a healthy family and marriage, i make lots of money, i love life, nothing bad has ever happened.
All a power play. Your friend can lie and probably get away with it guilt free.

If you truly and honestly repent (which includes seeing the bishop) then yes, you can. But that does not mean you should have the attitude of sin now repent later. Repentence is a lot harder than one might think.

The simple answer would be yes, but there would be a difficult repentance process that would have to be followed. However, believing that Christ atones for all sins, it is indeed possible. Just not easy for true heartfelt thorough and complete repentance.

Study your religion, read the Bible and I suppose the BOM for answers, or pray. Don't come on yahoo asking someone else to tell you what you believe and what happens if you repent.

You need to talk to your bishop about it. But, yes, at some point, you can go to the temple.

yes
Repentance means you have forsaken the practice and will not do it again, and you are forgiven by God.
It's like it never happened -- that is the miracle of forgiveness.
