Getting married in the States before your DW, Beaches Negirl

[MiriyaBleu]

Hey ladies!

My fiance is on deployment right now and we want to get married while he is home for R&R. We have a wedding at Beaches Negril already planned and booked. For some reason they are telling me that if i get married here in the states that they will not perform a wedding for me there and that i will have to do a vow renewal? has anyone had to deal with this and how do you get around it? Should i just not tell them that i am already married?! Help Please!!!

i got married on friday..here at home and so my honey and i are technically doing a vow renewal on our big day in October...its actually cheaper...i decided to just cut out all the international paperwork and get hitched at home.  most of our guests know that we jumped the broom on friday but i don't think it'll take away from our actual wedding.  many DW brides do this...if you want it to 'appear' like a bonafide wedding ceremony vs. a vow renewal, ask if you can say your own vows and work with the officiant..i'm sure he'll be happy to design your words to go with exactly how you and your husband/fiance wish to be married...afterall, they're there to make you happy.

 

until next time, happy planning!!
