3 weddings....

[vaniilla]

well like the name suggests! lol me and my oh are expecting our first in November *touch wood nothing goes wrong* and we are thinking to have a registry office wedding in the summer because we think that it will make us feel more like a family if we share the same name before the baby is born, maybe I sound sad and then we'll have the actual wedding in 2/3 years time when we can afford it as 25 grand is not easy to come by especially when we are already saving for a deposit, we will have to have 2 weddings anyway because my parents are from the mediterranean so I have to have one there as well, does anyone think is a bad idea to get married before the 'main' wedding?

Hi hon,
I don't think it's a bad idea if you want the other weddings as more of a celebration (that's what it sounds like if you're having another two?)...
If you want your families to see you making your vows then that's a diff matter... maybe speak to them and see what they would advise?
Just my opinion x
(oh and btw, randomly, I am from your neck of the woods!)

my parents aren't keen on it though pahhh they think we will not bother to have a wedding celebration after it and they think that we should get married when we have the wedding but yea that's parents for you!

oh? what part of cornwall are you from? I'm in st austell

you could have a blessing at the second wedding, it would be in the church & its pretty much exactly like a real wedding, ive not been to one myself but appparenlty you cant tell its not a real wedding unless you know & you do them once you are already married

This is what we're doing! We're having a legal wedding on the 5th June and then our wedding is a humanist ceremony in my parents garden in Jersey on 17th July! Good Luck and Congratulations!!

My best friend just got married in January because their little one is due in August, and their wedding wasn't planned til October. So they're officially married right now, but will have the ceremony and celebration in October still. I think it's a fine idea - its your wedding, after all!

My husband and I got married in a courthouse in '08 due to health reasons and me needing to be on his insurance. We were already engaged at the time and knew we were going to get married anyway. We always said we'd have a big wedding later, so next year (it will have been 3 years later) we are having it. I think if you want to get married before your baby is here to tie your family together, go for it! You can have plenty of time to plan for a bigger event later so your family and friends can celebrate your family. Maybe you can even incorporate your child into the event. Good luck to you!
