Ceremony after court house marriage

Angeleana , on October 30, 2017 at 6:11 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7

I just need some advice, me and my husband got married in the court house.. we still want to have a wedding to were his family and mine could attend but idk what to go about calling it, a vow renewal or just celebrate of our love and before anyone tries to bite my head off for asking this, we did this because he's in the military and he had left the country for 2 years and we didn't have time for a big beautiful wedding now that he is coming back we want to celebrate with the family we don't want any of the bachelor bachelorette parties or gifts we just want our two families to be able to come to something and celebrate

    Vow Renewal is fine. You seem to have a good understanding of what kind of event you're throwing. People would bite your head off if you wanted to have a big party for the gifts and attention as if you didn't already have a ceremony.

    I would say "celebration of marriage ".

    You didn't have a shindig before so I find that to be appropriate, for me, personally, if you say "vow renewal" I'm thinking it's an anniversary thing etc. &2yrd is too soon for that. And given your situation, anyone who throws shade and says "whatever you're already married" can suck it. (^_^)

    Celebration of marriage or vow renewal would be appropriate names for your event.

    After two years, even I'd call it a vow renewal.

    My FH and I are having a celebration of marriage. We had a courthouse wedding before he deployed for 13 months. We'll have a ceremony & a reception since we didn't do any of that. The two of us went to the courthouse on Good Friday this year, and got married 9 days before he left. We told our parents over the weekend, and slowly told other families over the week. It will be your standard reception and we'll have a little ceremony.
