Getting Married, then wedding the next day?

My fiancé and I would like be married the day we began dating/ our anniversary, but the issue is that the day falls on a Thursday. We are considering getting married through the JOP on Thursday, then having our actual wedding on Friday. Do this sound crazy?

    Your wedding is the day you get married. So, no ceremony in front of your guests if you are already married.

    We had friends who did this, had an intimate ceremony with just their parents and the officiant, with a reception the following night and no one minded missing the ceremony

    @Mrs. Fall Bride, we would love to have our guest at the "original" ceremony, but the guest like my father and others say it's wrong to have a Thursday wedding. My thinking is that our wedding falls on Memorial Day weekend which mean yes they have to take off one extra day but they also have another day in return

    @mrsg and La Grosera, thank you for your response and your opinion. But we absolutely love the idea of it. That day symbolizes a lot to us and would have to carry it on

    It's not that I want a private ceremony. I would love for all our guest to be there the original date, but our date falls on a Thursday and some say it would inconvenience people

    Either have your wedding on Thursday or don't have a second ceremony.
