Getting married at a courthouse and having wedding ceremony next year?

Question

My boyfriend and I want to get married this year but a lot is going on. I'm due with our first child in a few weeks and we still have a lot of bills to pay off. Would getting married at a courthouse now and having the wedding ceremony next year (probably january) be a good idea??? Or should we just get married at our ceremony??? Super conflicted

Answer

My husband and I eloped. Told absolutely no one...hiked into the mountains and married ourselves with no witness. In Colorado, you can self-solemnize...or marry without a witness. 10 months later we had a traditional ceremony with our friends and family. We wanted our legal marriage to be extremely personal and intimate...but we also wanted a cake, decorations, food and all the fun wedding stuff as well. It was fun to marry him twice! 🥰
Different strokes for different folks. Do whatever you guys feel fits your personalities and situation best!

Answer

I would either get married at the courthouse and just have a big party later or get married at the ceremony. It seems weird to me to do courthouse and then a ceremony.

Answer

Get married at a courthouse and be done. A marriage is more important than a huge wedding. Obviously if it's what you want, go for it! But not necessary.

Answer

Get married now at the courthouse and throw a party later. You don't need a big ceremony to be married, and courthouse weddings are still special 💕 do what's best for you!

Answer

My cousin wanted to do that. I considered it too. But she never ended up having a ceremony and reception. She said it’s very easy to forget and push it back. So for that reason, I don’t think I’m going to do that. I can see myself doing the same.

Answer

My boyfriend and I neither make tons of money so we might just go to the court house then save up for our dream wedding

Answer

Whatever floats your boat. I can’t say I’ve never thought about doing it.
