My husband and I have been together for 6 years, married for almost one, and have a one year old child. We are in our early 20's and our parents(neither of whom have ever been married) said that we didn't need a wedding. We are both in university still, so we couldn't afford a wedding on our own. We had a courthouse wedding, but feel as though we were robbed of such a wonderful celebration with friends and family. Is it too late for us to have a wedding??

I don't think it's too late.. I too had a courthouse wedding and we've been married for almost 9yrs.. I would love to have a big beautiful wedding wit lots of flowers.. I wanna have ppl makin a fuss over me..lol.. but hopefully one day u and ur husband will be able to save up enough money to have a nice wedding. It's funny cause I was tol the same thing. but when u dream about getting married who ever say i wanna get married at the local courthouse.. um, nobody.. some ppl jus can't afford to have the wedding of their dreams. But i feel you, i hope that u get to experience that.. I think every bride & groom should have the wedding of their dreams.. Good Luck

Oh, dear lady - you can do that ceremony any time you want! Lots of couples do it if they are married in one location and then go to a big family event somewhere else, or for similar reasons. Others do it as a way of marking a special anniversary.
You don't really need a "wedding" as much as an event at which those who love and like you have the chance to express their regard and encouragement for your union. Apart from an extravagant show with fancy clothes, what else IS a wedding, after all?
Why not plan a special reception on a special date - perhaps comemmorating the first time your went out, the anniversary of the courthouse ceremony, even the wee one's birthday, and let everyone know this is in place of the formal wedding ceremony. Ask them to dress up and wear their dancin' shoes! If you like all that fancy clothing and stuff from a wedding, you can plan a "presentation procession" with the dresses, the flowers and everything else, and have a valued friend, professor or minister make a benediction. Same thing as a wedding, just about, and maybe you'll start a new trend!
But honey, unless you guys have wads of money to throw away, don't bust the bank. Your family and home can use that money far more than some overpriced caterers, florists and photographers!

Never too late to have a wedding, or least a wedding party. No matter if you can't afford a big one, small weddings are good too. You and your husband, is old enough to have a wedding without your parents permission.

This surpassed off to my brilliant buddy merely this previous would. Her & her husbands relations are both very large and they wanted a small ceremony and then a larger reception and invite their huge households. they chosen no longer to deliver out initiations they merely observed as their relations and advised them they were getting married and they were preserving an excellent reception in September. My suggestion is to call up the kinfolk who're no longer invited to the ceremony. tell them that you have become married, yet that with the aid of area and value, the truly ceremony will be very small, yet that you will be sending them an invitation to the reception which will be held at a larger venue which will be able to administration the shape of concentrated visitor. i imagine that it really is a clean trend with weddings. i imagine further and extra human beings are carry small deepest ceremony's and large receptions at a later date. i became invited to a reception from a buddy. They were given married 2 weeks earlier they despatched out an statement they were married and an invitation to the reception. **Haha after analyzing each and absolutely everyone elses submit I see how incorrect i'm! OH nicely merely advised you from my memories!

Heavens NO! My husband and I are planning our wedding for our 5 year anniversary. We got married the same way but when it came time for the actual ceremony, Hurricane Rita ruined everything. (I am pretty bitter to mother nature).
It is never too let to celebrate that wonderful occasion. Just be positive about it and have fun with it.

Not a bit. Many people have a JP marriage and later a wedding when it's more affordable.
