Hello everyone! I was supposed to have the big wedding on March 21st of this year. We had to postpone because of the coronavirus but my fiancé and I still got legally married in our living room that day with our parents present because our officiant offered to still marry us. Our rescheduled date is now October 31st. My question is, is it rude to resend invitations calling it a “wedding”?? We didn’t get to say our own personal vows but I’m just worried of my extended family and friends being upset because we didn’t tell them we ended up getting “married.” Our Pastor will be doing our ceremony on October btw. Thanks for any advice in advance!

Definitely not rude! It is still your wedding and you could still have a ceremony and say your vows. You are allowed to do whatever you want and everyone should be understanding, especially in this crazy situation. What is most important is that you do what makes you happy and get to celebrate! You could even say that on the new invites - that you got married in your original date but want everyone to still join you for the commitment ceremony and celebration, so that way you don't feel like you are deceiving the am and can just enjoy being married!

Definitely not rude! We were civilly married a year ago for my husband's green card, and I didn't tell anyone at first because I didn't want them to beess excited about our church wedding. This was about a year ago.... We decided by my bridal shower everyone should know because we decided not to keep a secret anymore. Everyone was really supportive!!

I’m in the same boat - so I feel your pain. I think you should do the wedding exactly like you want to do it. Don’t let this wild situation take that away from you. I’m going to still have a wedding ceremony as it was originally planned later on even though we will technically be legally married. I might adjust some of the wording in the vows.. but I’m not sure yet. Regardless, you should still call it your wedding!

Definitely not rude. Who cares? It’s your wedding and you can do whatever you please. Especially now when everything is crazy and nothing is really normal. If we can get married on our original date, we will and also have a ceremony on our new date. I mean, we paid for ceremony decor so might as well.
