I agree with Tom's view. There are many examples related to this:after they got marriedright after they got marriedone year after they got married10 years after the got marriedand there are other prepositions which follow similar patterns. In IFG terms this ('one year after') constitutes a prepositional group within a prepositional phrase.

10 years [[after they got married]] is a nominal group with an embedded clause as Qualifier

those twenty unforgettable though nightmarish years [[after they got married]] is a nominal group with an embedded clause as Qualifier
