Court house wedding ceremony....anyone ever have one?

YOU SHOULD'NT WORRY ABOUT WHAT SISTER SAY OR COMPLAIN ABOUT IT NOT HER WEDDING IT'S YOUR ...........BUT A COURT HOUSE WEDDING IS OK IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO GO AHEAD WITH THAT AT LEAST YOU SHOULD HAVE A BIG RECEPTION/PARTY.......

I'm sure there is a max. I just went one recently not in PA. They could bring 12 people together and did. Most other couples came in twos. Some were dressed up. Others in jeans. Marriage court was a basement no windows. The ceremony was with judge in small office (all 12 crammed in). Nothing like we imagined. I would just go the marriage court and check it out. Some cities have more than location, so ask.

Me and my FS are doing courthouse ceremony in December, we will dress up nice and do it with my mom and his best friend. His parents doesn't know. We are still having actual wedding in Feb, we just need to get forward with military processes which takes a while.

We are going to have our big grand wedding once he is home from his delpoyment..we just want something now to make it all official before he puts his lifeat risk

Sweetbella.. that is EXACTLY why we are doing this!!

Ive seen one at the court house down the road from me and that had it in an actual court room!

Check with the county, we did a legal ceremony 2 weeks before the

Mexico ceremony. It wasn't in the judge's office, it was in a pretty big courtroom. So there was plenty of room for more than just 2 witnesses. Also, he was so cool, he met with us prior to the ceremony in his office and actually got to know - asked questions about our families, where we were from. It was very nice. Plus you can have the judge meet you somewhere - at home, in a nice spot somewhere in your town. It doesn't have to be at courthouse just because the judge marries you.

I live in lancaster, PA I was told I could bring as many ppl I wanted...last i checked.

Thank Lisa I live maybe an hour from lancaster!! I live right outside of hellertown PA and the court house would be doylestown..

I am asking because it would be my mom, dad, sister x2 and brother, then his mom, dad, sister and brother then my grand parents (3) and his (5)

and that is at the least.. our parents want our grandparents there...

so thats 17 ppl so far..ugh!

My boss got married in a courthouse. He said all they had was the the judge & 2 witnesses I believe but that's here in NH (however I don't think there's much of a difference.) Either way, call whatever courthouse you're planning on getting married at & ask. Just don't forget the license!!!!

I guess it depends on the judge :-)

Yea I plan on calling, I just wanted to get a rough estimate

Sorry, my fiance just said it is a District Justice where I asked...but u would first get the license at the courthouse.

My first wedding was at the courthouse. We had a small ceremony in the courtroom with a small group of friends and family with the judge.

Serenaheart did you ever regret it? everyone says ill regret my first wedding being in a court house even tho we are having a big wedding in like 2 yrs

We did our legal ceremony in a courtroom in Saint Paul, MN last November on a Saturday (the courtroom wasnt even open to the public...judge was nice enough to open it just for us) ....required one witness on each side but could go upto two on each side about 26 people, we just had a really nice judge who even offered to take several pictures for us to include everyone who attended. One thing, she suggested not to have our parents as witnesses...saying it is too close a relation to be witnesses coz knock on wood if something happens, a mother would have a hard time not siding her son, or her daughter...

As we both have different religions, getting married in a courthouse was an easier decision that who's church we'd get married in. However, I wasn't crazy about going down to City Hall to get married.

I found a great alternative - a courthouse built in 1904 which is full of character & an officiant will be doing the service.

We were gonna have a courthouse wedding or something like that when my fiancee got here for R&R, he's also deployed.

My husband and I did this a few months before he got deployed. He just got home about 2 weeks ago and we're having a full wedding in December.

We just had 2 witnesses, and some people don't even know were married. I definitely don't regret the early wedding, but I sometimes wish we had just told everyone and had some of our family there.

The best answer will come from the County Clerk's office where you apply for your marriage license. Every state is different - even some counties are different about how they perform ceremonies.

I am an officiant in St Louis MO who perform short, sweet and simple ceremonies. I consider what I do to be a step above a judge or civil ceremony.

I think it would be fun to dress up a little - wear a veil and bring a little bouquet of flowers. So sweet.....

Amber- A save the date HP2-T17 (STD) is similar to a wedding announcement. It typically has some of your engagement photos on it, SSCP and lets your guests know up to a year in advance that your wedding is on x date, at x city. It's very general, and just tells them to JN0-562 save that date for your wedding. It's useful for out of town 1z0-042 guests, or if your wedding in on a holiday or weekday, for example.

I wanted to share a courthouse wedding that my photographer shot-this couple had their wedding at the courthouse and a couple days later still threw a small reception. I love this idea and the pictures came out beautiful. I hope this inspires you that no matter where you get married at-it will be special!
