To me, your correction looks wrong. Here's why.
1. practice for when you get married one day. -> Correct. "when ..." makes a noun clause to serve as the object of "for".
2. practice for one day you get married. -> Wrong. "one day ..." is not a proper clause and can't come after "for".
3. practice for the day when you get married. -> Correct. "the day ..." forms a noun clause as in (1).
It appears to me (1) sounds the best, but (3) is also correct and has a similar meaning.
