What wedding anniversary date are you using??

[ACH2009]

Our legal wedding date is March 7, 2009 but our ceremony date will be June 12, 2009. We plan on using the ceremony date. We only told a couple people that we got legally married beforehand so as far as everyone knows we won't be married until June.

I feel better now after reading your posts, so thank you! I've been back and forth on whether it made sense to do the legal wedding at the resort so that I wouldn't have to worry about which date to count, but I really don't want random people to be our witnesses. AND to ask our family to get there on Tuesday when the ceremony isn't til Saturday, is a LOT to ask, especially from a cost perspective. But I had never heard about people getting married before they go, until my TA said that was how most of her brides do it.

 

What do you think about telling your family that you are doing it ahead of time? Or are you going to keep it a secret? I just really want the focus to be on our actual ceremony.
