Ok, seriously, my sister did it this way. Her husband was being relocated so they got married before they moved. A year later, they had a "vow renewal." They had bachelor/bachelorette parties for that, but no bridal shower. I have another military friend who just did this and she stressed over what to call it, too. *FYI: yes, according to dictionary.com, the year later thing does still qualify as a "wedding"* Both couples went on honeymoons after because they didn't get them the first time. No one complained about coming to either ceremony (at least I never heard any complaints) and no one griped about my sister having a bachlorette party even though she was already married--it was basically just a giant slumber party anyway, not much shenanigans. I can't speak for him, though.  You'll be married and happy and getting what you want in this uber important phase in your life. Sounds like a good deal to me!

Thanks! I like this way of thinking! I really don't want it to be a big deal (until next year anyway)and I'm happy with having both but I'm agonizing over the little details while J only sees the big picture (we compliment each other so well!) I really appreciate all the suggestions
