FH and I are getting legally married in a civil ceremony a couple months before our wedding this fall. I don’t want to wear my white bridal gown until my fall wedding with family and friends. If I was only having the civil ceremony then I might wear it but it seems over the top to walk around a government office building with my ruffles and train and veil! I would be kind of uncomfortable if people stared even I’d to say Congrats since I don’t like being the center of attention or conspicuous.
For brides who did both (go to to courthouse of a civil ceremony and have another wedding later) what did you wear? Or you just showed up in regular clothes? If so, what are some dressier business casual options? We’ll probably make the appointment for the morning so we can simply take the morning off and return to work afterwards.
