Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum to post my question in. If it belongs somewhere else, please let me know.

I need some input on something I've been thinking about lately...

My husband and I didn't have a real wedding. We went down to the courthouse with our parents and siblings, and had a ceremony there. We then had lunch with out close friends and family, and then followed with a small reception. And I love it. At the time, it was the best thing for us to do. And I don't regret it at all.

Now, the problem is, I still want a ceremony. It's something I've always dreamed about (as do most girls, I think). I'm seriously thinking of planning a renewal ceremony for right after I graduate with my Master's degree. That would be in June/July of 2010. It would be our 3 1/2 year anniversary.

What does everyone think about this? Mike thinks it's weird to renew our vows so soon after getting married. But I think it suits us. We don't follow the crowd. Plus, I'm kind of afraid that if we don't have a ceremony in the next few years, we never will. And this is something I really really want. It gives us 2 years to plan and save and everything.

Does it sound stupid? Should we just wait longer? I don't know, I just kinda wanted to see what everyone else thought about it....

*******EDIT*******

Apparently Mike thinks the whole thing is ridiculous. Not just renewing our vows on our 3 1/2 year anniversary. Hmm.

Also, one of the main reasons I don't want to wait until our 5 year, is because I plan on beginning to have kids as soon as I'm done with school. I'm afraid that with the cost of children, and how much your scheduling changes, we will never have a ceremony. And again, it's something I've always wanted. I hate that this makes me sound/feel selfish. It's just something that's been in my mind, and it won't seem to go away.

Thanks for any input!

I think that Mike should listen to yer ideas of renewing yer vows and stuff. ^_^ And then perhaps, he can propose some ideas for the second honey moon? Ya? What's better than one honey moon than two? Just think about the possibilities!!
