Confused

Kaylah, on July 17, 2019 at 8:44 PM Posted in Married Life 0 8
Hey guys!! My husband and I ran away and got married on the beach back in May. It was just him and I. My family on my dads side wants to throw me a small “wedding”/ reception. Is it weird to have a big wedding a few years after eloping ?

    Nah people just call them vow renewals instead of weddings!

    Nope. Several posters have done it.

    Would it be okay to do the reception then ? Or should we do it before summers over ?

    I think it's totally fine to have a reception afterwards at a vow renewal!

    Have it whenever you want. If you want to have another ceremony, you can call it a vow renewal. If you just want a reception you can just call it that.

    How fun & nice of your family!

    I don't think it's weird at all if it's something you'd like to do!

    I was equally confused about this, but I'm seeing it more and more, so I think "nope." My mom still wants to throw me a bridal shower, and our friends are throwing us a small wedding get together this Saturday because they want to celebrate our wedding. Really we know it's just an excuse for them to get away from their kids and drink, but hey whatever, ha!

    A friend of ours we haven't seen in several months told me congrulations the other day and I asked huh for what? he said your wedding, and I was like oohhhhh yeaaa....ha!

    In my mind it's kind of all over with but everyone else is still getting used to it. It's been 4 months since we got married.
