Ok so for reasons that we really really wanted a wedding we never had anything, no ceremony whatsoever when we got married. We have been married for over 2 years now and we want to have a wedding this summer. Do you think its too late? We were both in the military when we got married and just never had the time to plan for a wedding. So now we have the money and time to do it but a part of me thinks people will think I am stupid for waiting so long. But this is my 2nd marriage and I have never had a wedding :( I want my day. I already have my dress picked out and its perfect!
my DH and I are going to have another wedding. renewing our vows. Our wedding was good but not what I wanted. my inlaws told me not to have an outside wedding and I had my heart set on the idea and so did DH but they wouldn't give up. And plus lets just put it this way, my girls were soo not the right girls to pick. lots of drama and two I don't talk to anymore and the wedding was only two years ago.
Similar situation here. We were going to plan a wedding, but then we came down on orders, so all wedding plans flew out the window and we just got married at the courthouse.
I still want my wedding, though. Not the typical big ceremony and reception - but just an intimate beachfront wedding with just the two of us. I want to say my vows to him like I mean it. I love this man with all my heart and I want to affirm my lifelong committment to him.
The judge who married us was quite a comic, so we were all cracked up and joking around ... I want us to say our vows in a deeper, more emotionally connected way. It's just something that is important to me. I'm not sure when we will be able to do it, but it's never too late.
We are doing our wedding in 2011, if God permits. I have my dress already and most of the things I need. We wanted to do it July of next year but it's not possible now since dates changed with him and training. Hopefully we would be able to do it when he comes back from deployment. I don't think it's weird at all, I think we will gear it more towards vow renewals.

we had a small wedding and then dinner at The Elephant Bar, nothing big. No pictures. Since we are moving to Germany we are doing a re commitment ceremony and getting pictures done, it will be just for us, no fmaily or anybody. If it's really what you want than you should totally do it. I wouldn't register or ask for anything though, that could come off tacky.
We've never had an actual ceremony either or a honeymoon. We are definitely planning on doing something in the future and our families and kids can be involved. I say go for it! It's never too late. We're just going to call ours a recommittment ceremony. DH says he'd like to do it at our 5 yr mark, I was thinking more like 10 yrs. It was 3 yrs this July so that seems kind of soon, but we'll see.
Its never to late to have your "wedding." Its typically called a vow renewal ceremony though. We were planning a wedding until my hubby decided 3 weeks before deployment that he wanted to get married before he deployment. So we did a JOP ceremony two weeks to the day before he left. We will be renewing our vows in 2.5 years on our 5th anniversary. I need to start planning soon haha
just one letter! thats all i ask.
