To Wait or Not To Wait: That is the Question

Sidenote: It puzzles me when people go to the courthouse or something to get married, then a YEAR or so later register for gifts, have a ceremony and reception and call it a wedding. I feel like it should be called something else, lol.

Like an anniversary? LOL

I find the whole "have a reception later" concept to be really strange. Either do it when you get married or don't do it. If it is important to you and it means you have to wait a year, then wait a year and save up the money. If it is really the right person for you there should be no rush to get married because you will be married for the rest of your life. One more year really isn't a big deal.

SisterCG did this, but she called it a "vow affirmation." Everyone else called it a wedding, but she didn't. Her husband was in the military and was being relocated so it wasn't really their fault they didn't get their big shindig the first time around.
