==Question: How could Joseph and Fanny have been married in 1831 if the sealing power had not yet been restored?==
===There is historical evidence that Joseph Smith knew as early as 1831 that plural marriage would be restored===


There is historical evidence that Joseph Smith knew as early as 1831 that plural marriage would be restored. Mosiah Hancock (a Mormon) reported a wedding ceremony in Kirtland, Ohio in 1833.

Apostate Mormons Ann Eliza Webb Young and her father Chauncery both referred to Fanny's relationship as a "sealing." Ann Eliza also reported that Fanny's family was very proud of Fanny's relationship with Joseph, which makes little sense if it was simply a tawdry affair. Those closest to them saw the marriage as exactly that—a marriage.

===Joseph and Fanny were married before the sealing power was restored in 1836===

This marriage occurred in 1833, several years before the sealing power was actually restored in 1836. Therefore, the marriage of Joseph and Fanny would have been a plural marriage, but it would not have been a marriage for eternity.
