Should we still have a ceremony?

Question

We've been married for 3 years already but we never had a wedding. We were countries apart so I sent my Power of Attorney so he could sign my name on the marriage certificate and then a month later we were together again. Should we still have a ceremony to at least exchange vows? What would we call the ceremony if we did? Is there such a thing?

Answer 1

I think it's a bit silly to have a ceremony now and your friends and family might see it as an egregious attempt to gain gifts and cash.

Answer 2

I think you should have a ceremony or at least have a special party to celebrate your marriage.  Its great that your love for each meant so much that you would get married even though you were both so far a part. Maybe have a celebration for all the married couples you know etc. make everyone feel special.

Answer 3

Your problem with what to call it comes from a common confusion: people seem to think of marriage and wedding as synonyms.  They are not.  You are married, but you have never had a wedding.  If you had a ceremony, you would be exactly, completely correct to call it a wedding.

Answer 4

Well is up to you but after 3yrs is too much of work to plan for a wedding or so do you want big cermony small one they are all pain in butt.

Answer 5

Why not have your religious minister "Bless Your Union". All your family and friends could come and it will be a joyous occasion. Best of luck in your future.

Answer 6

It's completely up to you.

If you chose to you can call it "renewing your vows"
