Okay...I don't want to get into specifics b/c there may be lurkers but here is the situation.
A friend of mine is engaged and has been since last April and was planning a big wedding for April 2009.
Now she just told me she is getting married so she can get her fiance's medical benfits (he is in the armed services) this April 2008 in a small luncheon w/ their parents, their grandparents, and their siblings.
Now here is where I want people's opinions.....she then proceeds to inform me on how she is going to have a HUGE $200+ per plate wedding in April 2010!?!?
Does anyone think its a little odd to get married in 2008, live together, be married, and then plan a huge wedding for 2 years later???
Just to be clear I'm NOT talking about people who live together and then get married.
I'm talking about her family is going to be there to witness her marriage and then 2 years later she is going to have a huge wedding and a registry. I'm trying to see if its me but one lady at my job said it was poor ettiquette.

if she is doing it 'for the gifts' well then she is going to be rudely surprised

JMO!! I don't see a problem with it. If she is getting married to her FH because she needs medical benefits then she should do it.. And, if she wants to have a small ceremony now and then have an elaborate wedding later than that's ok. That is what makes them happy! It doesn't matter how long they wait. My girlfriend and her husband were married 5 years ago and decided to have a large wedding this July.
what she said i agree.i dont really see a problem with it because a lot of people cant afford it at the time or have insurance, citizen, etc things that need to be dealt with only if theyre married.

my cousin got married last year and the are planning a wedding for next year....they just couldnt affor a big to do so they just went to the justice of the peace to make it official....i dont see anythign wrong with it. it gives them eough time to save up for the wedding that they want.
