Divorce before remarriage
You must have your Final Order before you can remarry, so work back from your intended date. The statutory minimum is around six months, and delays usually come from paperwork rather than the court.

Avoiding the usual hold-ups
Applications are most often delayed by name mismatches with the marriage certificate, missing certified certificates, and difficulties serving an unresponsive spouse. Each of these is avoidable with early preparation.
Settle the finances too
Remarrying can restrict certain financial claims from your previous marriage. A consent order or clean break order before the wedding avoids unpleasant surprises.
