Administrative Processing is what  they call the time period until visa is issued. Everyone goes through this process.

Please do not respond to this unless you have firsthand experience or are an immigration attorney.  This is a very specific subject, and opinions, however well intentioned, have the ability to do damage.
 
My fiancee and I are engaged to be married and are awaiting a K1 visa.  Due to religious reasons, we will not have sex until we are married.  Also, for religious reasons, we will do a religious ceremony after the marriage, which is not accepted by the country in which she resides as a legal marriage.  But this ceremony is what is important for us.  Our original plan was to get a K1 visa and get B2 visas for her family, fly them up and get married in the US then do the religious ceremony.  Due to the delays, we foresee our K1 getting issued far before her family can get visas.
 
I have studied the subject of unconsummated proxy marriage, and immigration law appears to treat the "spouse" as a fiancee:

I realize this is a tricky subject because many people have tried this route with various results.  However, every case is different.  Consummated by definition means sexual intercourse, but my understanding is that for spousal visas immigration accepts evidence of in person meeting or even a statement from the couple.  However, in those cases, they are trying to meet the requirement of being married.
 
In our case, the option we are considering is to marry by proxy after the K1 visa is issued, then do our religious ceremony in her country, then bring her to the US and consummate the marriage.  Obviously we do not have the intent of committing immigration fraud.  In this situation, by the letter of the law, we would not be married until we arrived in the US and consummated the marriage.
 
Does anyone have experience with this?  When she attempted to enter the US would she be barred from entry due to having been in each others physical presence?  Would immigration find out years down the line that I entered her country and assume we consummated the marriage therefore committing fraud by using a K1 for entry?  Would a sworn affidavit explaining that we did not consummate the marriage until a certain date remedy any potential issues?

This is a terrible plan. Don't do it.
 
I don't have firsthand experience and I'm not an immigration attorney, but hey, it's against the TOS to tell others not to post. If you only want immigration attorneys to respond, you should probably pay one to do so.

If the embassy is not open, there is no reason to expedite.  They will not process or proceed until they open.  Futhermore, in some countries, sending 1000.00 a month to a fiance will question a bonafide relationship.  In addition, your fiance will have to make due with the reduced amount of money you send.  100% of everyone in the US is having to manage with reduced income, your fiance should not be an exception.  If you choose to get a 2nd job to support your fiance, that is your choice.  You already have limited funds as you need a co-sponsor.  

Most likely, you will get another denial.  Worst case scenario, you would not be allowed to withdraw your application and be put into expedited removal resulting in a 5 years ban.  

The US Government already thinks that your pattern of travel indicates to them that you been abusing your visa to illegally live with your husband in the US.  After 10 months in the US where you never overstayed so you probably left for a few weeks, a brief trip home and another attempted entry into the US made them think that.  That's not exactly consistent with being a tourist in the US.  More like circumventing the system to live in the US.  This puts you in a terrible position after an entry denial.  I am not rubbing salt into your wound.  Just telling you what the US Government might be thinking.  Your chances of getting entry into the US is not good.  Personally, I would not try another entry.
