How to have a ceremony after getting married at the court house??

View Quoted Comment I been married 1o years I feel.funny having a wedding lol.but I got married in Vegas u can only imagine how bad I want pictures and a video I was married in Jordans and jeans

View Quoted Comment My husband and I are doing this! We were legally married April if 2017 & our wedding ceremony is October 2018. We have known each other since we were kids, and it just made sense for us to do it in this manner. My gown is ivory white and ball gown like, my venue is southern elegance, and we each have full wedding parties. It is no different than getting your marriage licenses and then having your wedding. In fact I have been less stressed through this whole planning of the ceremony. We are writing vows to one another, so I’m so anxious about that.

What would I put on the invites ? We will be having a wedding a little before our 2yr anniversary

My husband and I got married at the courthouse in 2013. We're doing a ceremony finally at the end of this year 6 years later! My issue is wording the invitations. Any ideas?

You are married. Therefore you are not having a wedding. You could be having a vow renewal (though that's usually saved for a ten-year anniversary, at least). You could be having a celebration of marriage. Or you could be having a party. A very, very late reception.

A re-enactment of your wedding ceremony is going to make many people uncomfortable, and, if you lie about it, you will get found out eventually and people will be even more upset.

View Quoted Comment Hello. My husband and I are doing the same thing. But I’m wondering who do you get to bless”/speak at the ceremony?

Completely disagree with Cassandra7. I was legally married in 2012 for insurance purposes to help with health issues, but I have not yet married in my heart. We are finally able to throw our wedding this July - traditional save the dates, invites for the wedding, dress, bridal party, registry, everything. As far as I’m concerned this will be my real wedding, and I think anyone who would deny us this joyous time is no different than anyone who would deny the LGBTQ the right to live their lives how they choose - no one is hurting anyone. Do you and I’ll do me.

View Quoted Comment Ashley, can you me an idea of what the ceremony outline would like?

That’s what my husband and I are doing, so I don’t think it’s weird. We got legally married last March and are having a ceremony/reception with our friend and family this October.

I worded our invitations to say something along the lines of “you’re invited to celebrate our marriage with us”

I still have yet to decide if I want my maiden name or married name on the invite though.

So my husband and I are doing this. We already are married...court house....and we are planning the big ceremony and everything with family for June. It is going to be like we are getting married just with an uncle "marrying" us...because we don't need anyone licensed. Not all the family knows we are already married but most of them do but it doesnt matter. still want to go all out with the big wedding. Do it just make it feel just as special when you said yes the first time!

How did you do it?? Like how did the ceremony go down?? My husband is in the military and before we PCS'd we got married in the courthouse without any family but we still want to have a ceremony and have a "traditional" wedding. You know? But I just don't know how it would work or what exactly we should do? Was it still the same thing? If you don't mind sharing the details, I would love to hear them. I need help. We would like to have a traditional ceremony with all of our family and friends before anything else crazy comes up. Thank you!

Has anyone thought of what to call this? How did you address it on your invitations? I got married March 30th due to our April Wedding being forced to postpone. We are planning on having a big wedding in the Fall.

My fiancé are going to the courthouse to get it on paper, legally. One year later we are going to have a ceremony with family and friends, on the beach. It's his second and my first marriage and I want it to be on the beach with a cute dress, toes in the sand, lots and lots of pictures to share with friends and family. It's not weird at all. Gurl stop thinking about what others think and do what your heart is telling you to do. I have always thought weddings were for everyone else except the bride. Do what fits you and your hubby......Congratulations not once but twice....
