Due to certain circumstances, FH now wants us to be legally married by the end of this year. However, he doesn't want a small court house ceremony. All he wants is to go in with our witness and sign the papers. He still wants to do the whole big wedding ceremony in April. We understand that we should call it a Celebration of Marriage or Wedding Celebration instead of an actual wedding so our guests understand that we are legally already married. FH still wants to do a ceremony in front of guests in April tho. How do we go about the officiant role? We won't need someone official because we will already be legally married. Correct? I'm not sure how to go about that so any advice will be very much appreciated.

FutureMiller- You're correct, it is rude and disrespectful to lie to your guests about the event they are attending. Your loved ones should be honored with the truth.

Our guest list is under 50 people. It's mainly family and very close friends. Most of them already know that we will probably be married before the end of the year. I definitely don't want someone finding out and being upset. I believe I will just call it my wedding though. It doesn't make sense not to now that you've all shared your thoughts. Thank you all. I'm going to look into finding an officiant that will suit our needs. I just needed the reassurance that if for some reason I can't find one we could have any one of our choice up there.
