My wife's naturalisation is in the progress at the moment. Does anyone know if I can apply for naturalisation myself, as soon as my wife attended the citizenship ceremony? i.e. if my wife attended citizenship ceremony on day 1, can i apply on the basis of marriage to a british citizen on day 2?
I could wait for my own "1yr after ILR" also, but i just thought it can save us a good few months.
does anyone know?

As far as I know, this is only if you have already met the residency requirements.

True although the link you provided is for the standard requirements. In this case he will be married to a BC and can meet the
spouse requirements.
