So I was wondering
I was going to do maybe a courthouse ceremony and then do the reception later on, but my dad keeps saying, "Don't use the word wedding. When we finally do the reception after you two are married, they'll jack the price up."
But it's like I'm going to wear a wedding dress to that, at least that's how I see it.
I also know many people who got married at a courthouse and plan to do a giant wedding later on. Do you ask another officiant to do it? I'm a little unsure about the logistics to explain you already have been married and want an officiant at the reception to have a mini ceremony for people who didn't get to be at the courthouse?
We haven't officially planned a date yet because I'm finishing up graduate school this semester.
