Because of family issues (problems with my future in-laws:S) , we have decided to cancel our big church wedding and have a destination wedding in Spain next year where we will be inviting only our closest friends. Besides being really sad that my fiancé's parents behave so badly and have actually managed to ruin the wedding we had planned, there is something that worries me a little;
Because we don't live in Spain, we will have to get legally married here in Denmark where we live, as you can only legally get married in Spain if you have lived there for 3 months or more.
Since our original wedding date was September 1, we have decided to just stick to that date for our legal ceremony, and our minister has agreed to do just a small ceremony with the two of us on September 1 this year.
Next year, on June 7, we will have a garden wedding with a ceremony - complete with me walking down the aisle in a beautiful dress;)
We won't tell anyone that we're getting married September 1, because we figure that way June 7 next year will still be our wedding day.
My question is: Since the wedding in Spain will not be our legal/"real" wedding, and we will actually have been married for some time on the day, will we still get that "wedding moment" between the 2 of us?
Has ANYONE got any experience with 2 ceremonies? Does it feel just as "big" the second time around??
Hope you can help ease my mind:)!!
