Wedding After Marriage

Hi! Me and my husband got married on May 22nd because we had to move, so it was rushed...our original wedding date was going to be December 14th, well, I was wondering if it would be stupid to go ahead and have our formal ceremony on December 14th or what? Next year May 22nd falls on like a Thrusday, so that won`t work....
Does anyone have any ideas, because I really feel like if I don`t have a wedding I will regret it, and I need to start saving! Help!

I am in a similar situation. My fiance and I are getting married on July 19 this year, and then renewing our vows next July 19. Our ceremony is going to be much like an actual wedding- pretty white dress, fancy reception, gifts, etc. But instead of saying traditional vows, we are just going to reaffirm our committment and love for each other. Good luck!

So, is it OK to have a wedding to celebrate in DECEMBER even though we didn`t get married that month? Is it ok to do that? Because if it is, that is probably what we will do....

Well if its not proper etiquette, then what do we do? Its not like we will be receiving gifts twice. I have no idea what `proper etiquette` is for a vow renewal.. Do you? If so, give me some guidelines, because we have no idea what to do or expect.
Thanks!

Typically for a vow renewal, which is what you are doing in essence, you wouldn`t register for gifts. People will probably want to get you something anyway though, so I would go ahead and register, so that if people ask what you want or where you are registered, you can tell them about it.

My husband and I have been married 9 years Aug 10th 1993. We got married at the court house and I regret not doing the wedding thing and haveing my family involved and my father not giving me away. I wanted to renew our vows and have the wedding we never had on our 10 year but it falls on a Sunday and I wanted to to have it on Sat. Is it bad etiquette to have my Vow Renewal on a day other than my wedding date? I would be haveing it the day befor. Please email me and HELP! We would be doing the wedding dress, flowers cake and all. We would have our 3 children in the wedding party only, and ivite family and close freinds. I would like to have the reception after as well. Does all this sound OK?

Of course you can have the wedding on December 14! Why not?? I got married at city hall, then I had a big wedding a year later. Do what you want to do. Its your life & No One can tell you what to. YES it is perfectly
Acceptable.

My husband and I were married (eloped really) on April 2, and then, because of conflicts in the family, we had a formal wedding ceremony on July 10th. Each year we have our Anniversary (April 2,) and our Wedding Anniversary, (July 10.) We`re none the worse for having two opportunities to celebrate it each year. Pick a weekend, and go with it. This April, for our 10th, we were going to have a renewal ceremony, but he will be in Korea at the time, so as soon as he gets back, whichever weekend is convenient, we will have it then. It will just be one more chance to celebrate the best event in our lives--our decision to marry. Dates aren`t important, its the two of you who matter!!

I am so glad I found this because I just decided to get married real quick. I am pregnant with my 3rd child (my husband`s second) and wanted to take his last name before the baby was born. We got married 8/23/07. I really want to have the ceremony next year on the same date since it will be on a saturday and hopefully I will have lost the baby weight so I can fit into a beautiful white dress. I still want the whole "fairytale" wedding though. My dad told me people do this all the time. Get married real quick and then have an actual wedding ceremony whenever they want. Now that I actually read that someone else did the same exact thing, pretty much, I feel 100% better.
