My FH doesn't want to do a ceremony but is ok with the idea of signing papers at the city hall with our immediate family in tow and a lunch or dinner following. Then 1-3 days later we will have a party for all our friends and family (160 people) with DJ, open bar and sit down dinner. It will be a semi formal event. I'm happy with it.
Anyways, I am very lucky and my uncle makes custom wedding gowns (see Jean-Ralph Thurin Luxury Bridal Design House). He is making me a shorter white Audrey Hepburn-ish dress to wear at the court house for when we "elope" and then sketched out a ballgown for the reception. I love both dresses, but lately am wondering if it is odd to wear a wedding dress to a party 1-3 days after the fact? I feel like people will judge.
