Wedding ceremony

Hey Alyssa, welcome to WeddingWire! Since you and your husband are already married, this would technically be a vow renewal. You could say something along the lines of "Please join us in celebration of our marriage for our vow renewal ceremony"

First, congratulations and second, thank you both for your service!

I would just call it a vow renewal or a unity celebration. I would skip mentioning the word wedding since technically you are already married but at far as the celebration part goes, you can pretty much do anything you want, including the unity.

Congratulations!! That’s so exciting! And thank you for your husbands service! 🇺🇸 like the others above said it’s not really a wedding but a vow renewal so people will know what they are attending. It can still be as grand as you want.

While technically it might be a vow renewal, I don't see why you couldn't still have it be your wedding. I had multiple friends who got married in the courthouse before their husbands left for lots of reasons. They all still had normal, traditional weddings after. Almost everyone knew they had already gotten married but also knew it was because the guy was getting deployed.

I think here, it depends on what YOU want to do. Sure, there is edict and what is normal, but then there is real life.

It is technically a vow renewal but if you do not like that term you can say We tied the knot, please join us for a symbolic ceremony. You can still wear your dress and make it an official ceremony especially since you went to the courthouse due to his deployment.
