I agree. In canon it's three years but I hope in the show it'll be less. If a year passes until John finds out that Sherlock is alive than I think it'll be quite out of character for him to get married. He lost the most important person to him in the world and it'll probably be hard for him to put his heart on the line again. I don't see him getting into a relationship for along time after the death. If he eventually gets into a relationship in the time until Sherlock revels that he's alive, then it'll probably take a long time until he gets married with that person. So yeah, it would make a lot of sense for him to get married after a year.
If Sherlock comes back after a year, or even two years, and they get him married in that time that would be really annoying.
