Thread: How to do a wedding ceremony with papers done already?

I already got a marriage commissioner to do a simple private ceremony and the paper work before.
Now, Me and my wife is planning to do a real wedding ceremony to invite our friends and families. I wonder how I should do it? Is it possible to skip the papers? I dont want the guest to know about it.

Are you talking about marriage licenses? Are those the papers? Being you already have them from the original wedding, you don't need anything like that for your big second wedding. Nobody needs to know about it. My brother originally got married in March, they were both in the Air Force and couldn't live together on base until they were married. They had a big wedding in September, some people in the wedding party didn't even know about the first wedding.
You just invite whoever you want to like you would do for a normal wedding. You don't have to tell anybody that you were already married.

Your "real" wedding was the one you had with the marriage commissioner, anything after that is just a vow renewal. You will absolutely have to tell the officiant that you're already married.

Frankly, I'd be super mad if I went to a "wedding" where the bride and groom were already married and tried to hide that from me.
