"ぶつぜん【仏前】
〔香典〕incense money; a condolatory offering
父上のご仏前にこれをお供えください
Please place this before the memorial tablet of your 
deceased [late] father."
gg5: "御仏前 offering placed on a Buddhist altar"
  Comments:
I don't think translating 仏前 as "Buddhist temple" in 仏前
結婚 ("Buddhist wedding" in GG5) is really correct. Since 
"before God" is used similarly in English e.g. "a marriage 
entered into before God", I think the literal "before the 
Buddha" should be fine?

GG5: 仏前に供える place 《an offering》 on a Buddhist altar.
御仏前 an offering placed on a Buddhist altar.
仏前結婚 a Buddhist wedding (ceremony); a wedding ceremony held at a temple.
  Comments:
I feel the "before the .." is being a bit 直訳. The GG5 examples are more general. I think the mortuary tablet mention is because it's place on the altar.
