Well his leave is in September and we're planning on having the big wedding-y stuff next September mostly because his best man will also be deployed but returning home later than him. So it would almost be exactly a year! I think those who love us know our situation and many have asked why we didn't choose to do this in the first place but I guess I was just worried if it was weird to do or not and how to handle the specifics of it (cuz I think of stuff like rings and invites).
ETA: Also how to handle the parents? And can I still do a bachelorette party if I'm already married? It would kinda bum me out if I have to miss out on some stuff

Maybe have it in August right before he gets home and we do this? And then do Bridal shower, etc. next year?
