My fiancé and I got married at the courthouse. We did not have a justice of the peace or receite vows. We went in, sat down, and filled out paper work. We signed our names and voila we're legally married. I changed my last name and all the goes with it. That was a year ago and we never had a wedding ceremony or reception. I'm now planning the ceremony/reception, but have no idea on how to word invitations. Any help?
Re: Marriage & Wedding?
You are already married, I wouldn't call him fiance since he is your husband. Just have a nice party to celebrate your anniversary.
He's your husband. You are already married to him.
If you're looking for rainbows and unicorns that fart glitter this isn't the place for you...
And so as not to upset delicate sbmini, I will offer some advice. If you really want a wedding, get divorced first.
OP, you have a husband, not a fiancé. Congrats on your marriage.
So she married her fiance. What's so bad about it? She did not marry her best friend's fiance, she did not marry her fiance's cousin, she did not marry a random stranger, while her fiance was overseas.
"My then fiance and I got married" ? Is it better?
Do you usually correct people who say "My fiance and I broke up" or "My boyfriend and I broke up"?
Just curious.
@wesjess11 : It's been a year ago. Think of it as ... giving a birth, for example. Since you are in a hospital while giving birth, it's perfectly normal to celebrate the birth of your child when you go home, or a few days later, when you feel better. But if you celebrate a year later , it's not the birth of your child you celebrate. It's the child's birthday . Those cigars ( are they still a thing?) if your husband is giving them to friends a few days after the birth, when he actually sees the friends, is one thing , but a year or so later would be strange.
You are married, you are living the married life. Your friends and family know it, and are used to it by now. Even if they were excited, they are over it by now.
Just think of someone throwing a party to celebrate Obama's election : he's been president for 5 years already, everybody knows it and people are used to it .
Just have an awesome anniversary party. And use any wording suitable for your style of party: formal , casual, whaterver you choose.
