How do I make it up to her the right way?

Question

My fiance and I were supposed to get married last year in August but my mother passed away so we shelved the plans for a bit. A few weeks ago we finally decided we just wanted to be married and were gonna go to city hall and get the license. I was got stuck in traffic and we got there past closing and now she hasn't said anything about it. I know I hurt her, the question now is how do I show her I do love her and want to be with her.

one more fact; we are not doing the whole big wedding thing mainly because of finances. I just got a new job and now have 2 mortgages but we do have a very nice honeymoon/vacation planned for hawaii in a month.

Answer 1

Surprise her. Act like you're taking her out for a special date that she can't know what it is until you get there.  Have her dress up, you dress up as if you're going some where "fancy" and have a minister waiting at your chosen location.  Make sure you have the place decorated nicely.  I would do it at night at like a beach or park, etc and decorate with lots of white lights, candles, ivy, and white or ivory colored flowers.  She'll love it. Don't forget to have someone there to take pictures.  Good Luck!

Answer 2

Why don't you two arrange for a Justice of the Peace to marry you in Hawaii?  Just make sure you bring everything you would need to get married there.  

Answer 3

give her a ring and surprise her with the wedding preparation (which i think you should get ready as a gift for her, to show your love towards her!!)

Answer 4

Get married in Hawaii, on the beach.  There are fairly inexpensive wedding plans you can look up online.  If she can't wait that long try city hall again.  

Answer 5

a nice dinner and romantic evening followed by a morning trip to city hall might be in order.

make an evening of it- you might be hurting financially but that doesn't mean you can't do something special or make a "city hall" wedding feel like a special and memorable event.
