Some brides and grooms ahem, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin just want to have a quick, fuss-free wedding for the two of them and worry about all the details of planning a guest-centric wedding later on. For others, it's the only option if the couple wants to get married far from home-sometimes there's just too much red tape to get through in order to make a wedding abroad legal.
Whatever the reasoning, multiple weddings are quite common in today's world, which is why we're sharing what you need to know about planning them.
The first reason is that you've decided to have a destination wedding and a local celebration, either because your destination wedding will be small or because the legal requirements are too complicated to make the far-flung ceremony official. Another reason why you may opt to have two weddings? In the event that the two of you are from different countries, you may want equal opportunities to celebrate with both families.
One other big reason why couples plan two weddings is because they've eloped maybe at a local courthouse or some far-flung destination on their own and want to follow that event up with a grander or more religious ceremony and celebration. Whether you need to get the legal ceremony out of the way locally before heading to your destination wedding or you're eloping at the courthouse , you'll likely want to have a second ceremony with your family and friends present. If you're planning big weddings in two destinations due to an international marriage, you can have ceremonies at both weddings if you choose, but it's not a necessity.
There's no obligation to let your guests or even your family know that the ceremony they're attending isn't the only ceremony you've had. In fact, some couples find it more romantic that they're in on a little secret together and prefer to let guests think the ceremony they were invited to was the one and only celebration.
While labels sometimes get a bad rap, it's helpful to name each ceremony i. Though having each ceremony close together might seem like the right call, consider spacing them at least a few months apart. While it may make your second ceremony seem less authentic to some, it will definitely save you a headache when planning.
