Poll - getting married before the real wedding day
Have any of you thought about having a private civil ceremony before the actual wedding day?
I think an 05 bride did it and I'm considering it.

Re: Poll - getting married before the real wedding day
Sure, I think about it sometimes when all the wedding planning gets overwhelming. I know my FH has been ready and is just waiting for the day to come. He wouldn't think 2x if I said c'mon lets go, but I want to have a wedding with everyone there so I know I won't go through with it.

Re: Poll - getting married before the real wedding day
We will have to do this... Since we are getting married in a church overseas the church requires that we have a marriage certificate at least 10 days before the wedding. Since we are getting married here 5/21, this would not allot enought time... so yes, we are going to do this!
ETA: We are only doing it because we have too, we looked at other options, but there aren't any (I didn't want too)... we will still have a "mock" ceremony on our wedding day though....

Re: Poll - getting married before the real wedding day
The thought never crossed my mind, actually. I could understand if needed for medical insurance or something, but no, I want the full day.

Re: Poll - getting married before the real wedding day
We were going to, we have the license and even made the appointment, but changed our minds b/c of our parents. We were going to do it so I could get health benefits.

Re: Poll - getting married before the real wedding day
I was considering it. The church will marry us on site if we are first married in the church building (the on site ceremony would be considered a renewal ceremony). I decided against it.

Re: Poll - getting married before the real wedding day
I will most likely end up doing this. Very privately though (only my parents will know) at city hall a few months before the big wedding. We are doing this because FH is not allowed to live off post nor can he be assigned married housing until the military has a marriage certificate on file. If we wait til July we will end up not living together for the 1st month and we want to avoid this.
If we do it before July it gives us time to look for an apartment, set it up and if necessary put our names down on the on post housing waiting list.

Re: Poll - getting married before the real wedding day
Only for tax reasons.
I tried to bribe him saying Id give him $10,000 to marry me by the end of the year so I could file married and save a lot more than that. Hey, it would be OUR $$ anyway right?
But Im being a good girl and being patient.

We talked about it for a similar reason. Before I found my current job, I had no health insurance whatsoever. We toyed with the idea so I could have insurance.

Re: Poll - getting married before the real wedding day
I was thinking about doing it because I just found out that FH is going to need knee and back surgery in a few weeks. I'm really nervous that he may not feel up to walking down an aisle by June depending on how long his recovery lasts. And I dont want to wait any longer than June!

Re: Poll - getting married before the real wedding day
We considered it, due to my age and the desire to have kids, so that if any "accidents" happened it wouldn't matter (both our mothers would flip out if I got pregnant before we got married LONG STORY), but decided against it.
