  1.   My advice.  Don't do it.  Most quicky Army marriages don't last.  Usually the girl can't handle it.  Next thing you know she's got some guy on the side and she's wasted all of the soldier's money.  Wait until he gets home.  If you can remain a faithfull finance while he's gone then go for it.


  2. Go to your city hall!  You can get your marriage license and get married the next day.  Good luck and God bless your man!

  3. The military usually doesnt move deployment dates up without prior notice, and if he's activated for the hurrican relief, he should still have time before the deployment to have a day to get married.  I am sure they haven't completed all the necessary deployment training.  You can still plan a wedding and reception, I would think about Thanksgiving time,  or some "off" day.  Theres nothing wrong with moving a wedding date up.  I am sure in the next few weeks you will have better answers.  They should be able to give him a guesstimate about when they will be leaving, and I would then schedule the wedding for 2 weeks before that date, just in case. If not you can always go to the court house and have a civil ceremony, with a big reception upon his return home.  Good Luck.

  4. First you need to go to your county's website and find the closest location to get your marriage license ( the cost of these varies from state to stae. I live in MN and it was $110!). Then you should schedule an appointment at your local courthouse to get married. A judge will be able to perform the ceremony for you.You should probably think about getting some wedding bands as well. I ordered mine online at iweddingband.com but you may not have time to wait for them, unless you have them rush delivered. I hope this helps and congrats!

  5. city hall, justice of the peace, or any  person licsenced to marry, OH don't forget your marriage license.  

    MORE importantly, get in touch with his bases family support center, you need to be signed up for tricare, get your ID, and all your other benefits immediatly, ALSO join a wives/spouses group right away and take advantage of all the communication devices the family support center provides.

    if this is your first deployment, GET SUPPORT. whether you need it or not.  If there isn't any available (it happens, though rarely) you should consider starting up a monthly impromtu gathering of fellow spouses.

    After your vows you will also be part of "blue star group" also known as blue star mothers... show him your support EVERY way you can

    CONGRATS!!!

  6. I have seen so many young women like you regret that they didn't have their "dream wedding". If he is going away unexpectedly then consider waiting for him to return and have that dream wedding - unless you really think you won't regret it.

    Love will wait.

  7. Don't get married until he returns.. guys change a lot and you don't want to make a mistake. He has enough on his plate aside worrying about you and your welfare.

    But do wait for him, if you or he changes over the year then you won't have any baggage to deal with next year.
