Military wives/brides

Hi! My husband (Navy!) & I got married this past August because of his military commitment & we just had a simple ceremony at a courthouse with a few family members! So, now we're planning our wedding for Sept!

On our invites, I plan on saying, "Please Join Us for the Celebration of the Marriage of Casey & Tyler Newvine"

Everyone knows we're married & I've already changed my last name. So, really, we're celebrating our first year married! We're doing the full ceremony & reception as well, so I didn't want to be too specific about saying it was a "vow renewal", and not have everyone prepared for a full day of wedding events, you know? It's still your WEDDING!

Congratulations!

Awesome, I love the way your worded it! I was at such a loss. Thanks I might steal your wording lol. Btw Marine wife here! hubbie is a grunt. Grunt wife life lol. I know a few Navy wives, it's always good to have people around who know what your going through!

I am not a military bride, but I have several friends who got married at a courthouse before a deployment and then had their church ceremony and big reception later. They all wrote their invitations like they were getting married for the first time. I didn't think anything of it.

Thanks! I just sent out the save the dates. The wedding is the weekend of the 4th of July I wanted to make sure everyone had enough notice. Were going to send the invites out in May.

My husband is in the army, and we had to keep scheduling things around his schedule. A little different as he wasn't being deployed at the time, but they kept sending him off on trainings, and to different schools. We learn as military wives to just go with the flow.That being said, I love the wording of MrsNewvine.

Navy wife here. We just eloped a week ago!! Like the wording of MrsNewvine. Might consider using that, I'm contemplating if we should still have our church ceremony and reception though!

Erika congrats on your new marriage that's awesome! I thinking of using her wording to lol. I think you should, were still having our church ceremony and reception. I know our parents would like to share that moment with us, also because I always wanted to walk down the aisle and have that moment! You should do it!

Thank you both so much! I love thinking of our wedding as a celebration of our first year, as well as the meaningfulness of sharing our love with our families!

Go ahead & use the wording I did, ladies! Love it!

My guy is also in the Navy and for logistics, we are having a small informal courthouse wedding next month and planning a large wedding and reception in September. I like the idea of inviting guests to celebrate our marriage. Do we wear our wedding bands after our informal marriage or save it for the formal ceremony? Do you celebrate your anniversary for the informal or formal union. It's so odd yet I hear double weddings within military couples is very common.

I wear my engagment ring, but won't wear my band until our formal ceremony. We also celebrate our anniversary when we had our informal union, because that's when we legally got married. Not only that though it was a special moment between the two of us. Yeah they are common, but as you know deployments and them having to leave for field ops makes it so hard to plan! WELCOME TO THE MILITARY WIFE LIFE LOL.

I'm saving my wedding band for the church ceremony. If we don't end up having the celebration wedding then just him and I will go to the church and get married alone, and I'll wear a band then. He wanted a band after we eloped. I think we are going to celebrate the church wedding date as our anniversary because the date we chose is also our dating anniversary.

My husband and I are both in the Air Force Did the same thing in April! Our wedding is in October I'm not really sure about the wording

Paris, you guys got married in April and are have the wedding in October? Congrats on your marriage. If you look at MrsNewvine's post she worded it perfectly. I'm going to be using that on my because I was at a loss for what to write to.

My husband and I are dual military Army and I got sent to Korea unaccompanied this year. We got married in a very quick, small ceremony with just our parents present 2 wks before I left the country for a year. When I get back in July, we're having our "full-on church wedding" where all of our friends, family, loved ones etc can join us. We worded our invitations the same, "A celebration of marriage." I wear both my rings presently, more because of the environment I'm in and wanting to make crystal clear that I'm taken Not sure how we're going to/if we're going to incorporate rings into the ceremony this next time, seems kinda silly. Ah, the lives of those married to the military. Congrats on your marriage & wedding celebration!!

Hi I'm getting married to my military fiancé in November but he's due to deploy a month later. We want our marriage to be small and have a big celebration next April when his family can come over ( from states to UK) and we can have the big dream wedding. I'm wondering what people suggest the celebration should include. Lots of people are very negative about this decision so it's hard to find ideas. Is anyone having a speaker ( like registrar) and the altar etc. or a blessing? I really don't want to miss out on big wedding but due to fiancé being deployed we couldn't get it all planned in time.

Hello ladies and gents! Hopefully someone can offer some sound advice. I would like to refinance my VA loan, and it will be the only time I have done so. I don't know a whole heck of a lot about VA loan refinancing, but as this is all going on, I also just got engaged. Does this change my VA loan finances in any way? Is there a benefit from refinancing my VA loan before or after I get married? This is the company I think I'm going to use; my friend used them and seemed very happy with the service. http://valoansfinance.com/ Is there anyone who has already gone through this stuff?? Thanks in advance.
