My husband is in the military and we got "married" shortly before he was getting sent to another duty station. We didnt have a ceremony, in fact, most of my family doesnt even know. We did all of the legal stuff to get married, we share the same last name and I'm a legal military dependent but it was never an "in the eyes of God" thing, so we're legally joined, but his family(and the parts of mine that know) only consider us engaged until we have the religious ceremony. Well, we're doing that spring of next year, Can we have a regular 'wedding' and just not do all of the legal stuff (since it's already done). And can i still use my maiden name in the ceremony, and just leave out the part where the pastor says "and i now present for the FIRST time...."
Has anyone ever done this? I want a real wedding, not a renewal of vows ceremony.
