I am assuming you mean the fact that she was going to LIE about getting married. right? I get having a second "ceremony" but why lie. Is that not unlady like?

Posted by shaysbigday[/QUOTE]

For clarification, there are frequently threads of this nature from first-time posters. In many cases, the OP will come back and tell the respondents that they have no life and are, essentially, married old hags (and they feel bad for everyone's husbands). I never quoted you and I am fully aware that you did not use that specific word.

Similarly, some of these said posters come here to stir up drama for drama's sake. Thus the "troll" comment.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Elvis Wedding On the Fly in Vegas : Now see, this actually makes sense. And even though it's not "in agreement" with myself, it actually offers legitimate advice and direction so THANK YOU! Sorry guys, never been married before, not a pro. <strong> My mistake was the whole real/fake thing, I get that</strong>. I just thought the FIRST time I clarified that that we could move past it but apparantly that's not the case. So for clarification, what Natrasha stated is EXACTLY what I was referring to, obviously just not in the right verbiage.

This is def where you went wrong in your wording. If you had said "Hey! Getting married in a few weeks and then having a big celebration at a later date..." then NO one could have misread it as if you were going to LIE. I am totally fine with people who do this, my issue is if you LIE, and yes by not telling it is still a LIE.

I am glad your not planning that and your Grandma's already know.

wiwicaty · August 2011

I don't get having the so called second ceremony... simply beacuse ther's no such thing. The only, truly genuine wedding ceremony occurs once, by definition. Insisting on wanting a second ceremony so that everyone "who loves me" can witness it isn't going to make it what it isn't. And what's wrong with being honest with onself and getting married the way one wants? It's just a matter of figuring out priorities and pondering the inevitable consequences for every different option. You want to elope and have fun? Wonderful! But then of course you're renouncing the big wedding at home. We were crazy about getting married in Las Vegas and didn't get married in Rome. It's not like we're planning a second wedding in Rome where every single family member lives... we're married. Life goes on.

Wanting both things sounds pretty spoiled to me.

OK...was waiting on this one...so I'm an immature troll now becuase i'm not a seasoned marriage pro.

Considering that I've started my own business (wedding cake business if you can believe it), put myself through college (BA and MBA), bought my own home at 23, and been with the same company over 3 years now with no credit card debt...I'd say I'm pretty financially secure....but what would I know...I'm only 24 and I haven't been married yet.

I mean...bottom line is, I worded my original post incorrectly and was crucified for it so...oh well...it is what it is...

OP, first, to solve your dilema; hire Rev Roland August of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://themobileminister.com/">http://themobileminister.com/</a> He will come to you anywhere in Vegas and will marry you, dressed as Elvis if you want him to, so now you don't have to find a chapel that meets your needs, just a location you like. Or if you just want to get it done at the chapel he works out of, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.theelvisweddingchapel.com/">http://www.theelvisweddingchapel.com/</a>

Second option, hire him or any other officiant to do the ceremony and hire Travis Allen to come perform as Elvis; he's well known as a great Elvis impersonator that many couples here have used at their receptions.

Now, for my opinion; IF you're going to treat the next year event as a 'wedding ceremony', be walked down the aisle by your father, given away and then have some officiant of some sort 'pronounce you man and wife', well, that would pretty much fit the dictionary definition of fraud:

<span class="ssens"> [/QUOTE]

If, however, your guests know you're already married and you cut out the whole I now pronounce you man and wife part, well, best of luck to you; I wouldn't personally have done that but I also wouldn't judge someone for doing so; if you want to have an official ceremony now and then an event that resembles a wedding ceremony later but doesn't include the part at the end that would take it from a re-creation (for lack of better words) to deception, then so be it.

You guys are all a mess! Too bad we cannot live in a world where people would just give their advice or leave it alone. If you and your honey want to get married at a wedding in Vegas then go ahead. I think that would be fun. We are actually planning a big wedding in April ( which is for family and friends about 125-150 guests) and I am really excited about it. BUT I am so ready to be married and if I had the money, I would have just done it this summer.. but I don't. So we are waiting until April. I am going to Vegas next weekend just to hang out and I thought about telling my FI that we should just do it in Vegas.

My mother would be devastated and I wouldn't want too do that to her and my sister's and dad so I wont.
My brother was married in Vegas and I cannot remember the name of the chapel but I do remember they kept getting my sister-in-law's name wrong. So with any officiant just make sure they know your names!

Elvis is not my thing but it seems like it would be fun!

BTW ladies.. lets not be mean.. it isnt a good look. Would your fiance like to see you acting like that? Just a mess!

Please don't jump on me for saying it though :-( I just feel like this could have been dropped a long time ago but it keeps going on & on... everyone has said their piece by now.

I know it's too much to say "Can't we all just get along?" so maybe it'd be better to say "Can't we all just move on?" :-)

It doesn't happen too often on here but it happens on every board on TK, well except for <a href="http://community.theknot.com/cs/ks/user/default.aspx?membershipid=9811069379517995&plckUserId=9811069379517995" target="_blank" class="username_knot">empegues</a>' preferred board. Certain things tend to rub people the wrong way, like making light of doing something that others did for their wedding and took quite seriously, head tables with no S/O's, +1 issues, family/kid issues, etc.

I was going to close the thread but I'm too curious now to find out if OP really is going to be pronounced married at the second 'wedding'.

shaysbigday · August 2011

OH NOOOOOOOO DON"T CLOSE MY THREAD!!!!

LoL.

The beauty of it is, once again, nothing was ever planned...

So what if I get married in vegas in two weeks.....but don't realy get married legally...and then have my real wedding next year on 9/22 and then get married - i mean, have a vow renewal every year on 9/22 and then request gifts on every single occasion? AND here's the kicker - NO THANK YOU NOTES!!!!!!!!!

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I'll get pronounced married every day of the year just so I can wear a different dress....actually, I wonder if I could marry myself...I am an Ordained Minister with the Universal Life Church after all.

LoL Real Talk with Shay Tibbs.

vegasgroom · August 2011

Unless you get divorced between each marriage, then you can only get married once.

If you have a wedding ceremony in Nevada but it's not presided over by a state-licensed officiant or JOP who has you sign a marriage license at the end, then it wasn't a wedding, it was you and your FI having a practice wedding.

If it is presided over by an officiant and you sign a marriage license at the end, then that was your wedding and you are then married. If you do the same thing the following year in a different state, you will need to get divorced first and have a new wedding, have a fake officaint pretend to marry you, or find a real officiant/preacher/minister/etc. with questionable ethics who will go along with the ruse of pretending to marry an already married couple for the 'benefit' of those attending the 'wedding.' Wouldn't make it a wedding though, it would just be good acting.

If you're an ordained minister and don't even know whether you could marry yourself it sounds like your church is a bit lax in their ordination process.
