Wedding After Marrage
Hi, My daughter and her husband were married July of 2001 at the court building. They nor I could afford a wedding. And at the time she didnt want a wedding. But now she does and wants to have one on their date in 2005. Is this acceptable? It isnt a milstone year or anything. It is just that they want the wedding and are willing to help pay for it. I would appreciate any help on this. My youngest daughter did the same thing, but it was due to them being in the Military and trying to coordinate the leave time. Only it was one year later.
Thank you.

I think that there is no problem with renewing their vows and finally being able to have the wedding they couldn`t have before. Good luck and have fun!

My husband and I have been married one year and almost two months.( Aug. 20th 02) We are renewing our vows or re-marring June 19th 2004. We wanted to get married on June 20th of 02 but couldn`t afford it so we did a court house thing and now he is in Iraq. I have talked to many people and they say there is nothing wrong with it. As long as the love is still there do it as many times as you wish, they say. So as you can tell I think that it would be great to re- marry. More power to them. Some may look at it as a new begining, like my husband and I. We were married for 6 1/2 monthes and then he got deployed and he is due home in February March. So it has been a year of lost time to us newly weds so we are going to start it all over again. Does this sound ok? Or should we wait?

I am doing the same thing My husband and I have been married since feb since we are both in the military, we are now renewing our voes in the Catholic church in September 2004. It is called a convalidation of your marriage. It is practiced often than you would ever believe.
