Church wedding after 5 years of living together. What do you think about it?  |
| |
| My husband and I had our civil wedding five years ago. One time, my family and I visited our friend. It happens that my son saw the wedding picture of my friend. He approached me and told me that he also saw the wedding picture of his friend during their "show and tell" in their school . But why he can't see any picture in our house? I'm speechless . I don't know what to say. That night , my husband and I discussed that issue. We are considering to have a church wedding. But do you think it is not awkward since we already have a four year old son? What do you think? Your responses will be greatly appreciated. | | | | | |

| | Why not? It'll be fun! You are already married, so what's the harm. And even the catholic church will do it. They are more easygoing nowadays than even twenty years ago, lol. | | | | | | |

| | The catholic church is almost encouraging it! Many couples get married by a judge first, as the church has requirements to take a class and counseling as well as to wait a certain length of time for the best results! So you got married by a judge or other qualified person, not a preacher, and you do not have any pictures? You can have a ceremony surrounding your anniversary! It is not necessary to get married again, just explain to your son that you got married outside of a church, by a justice of the peace, and that is how many people get married! If you really want to get remarried in the church, or have your marriage blessed, the go for it and enjoy the day! Just do not do it out of pressure to be like others. I understand that many people cannot afford a church wedding in their countries, and if couples rush into marriage, the church will tell them to come back in a year and get the marriage "blessed" with a religious celebration! | | | |

| | For me, if you want to do it, it is not awkward at all! What you want is a blessing according to your faith and there is nothing wrong with that! But, that time, it was also ok to explain to the kid what's the difference of civil and church wedding, so, he will also realize that both ceremony is valid and legal to do~ | | | | | | |

| | That's right. The reason we had just a civil wedding was because of lack of preparation. My husband has to go back in korea after two weeks of stay.Thanks for the comment. | | | |

| | I tink he meant sexy, and that is not considered an adult word or forbidden! You may get more points taken away, or the whole discussion deleted, if you use foreign words, like speaking in tagalog or any other language than English! It is in the guidelines! | | | |

| | It's not awkward -- it's wonderful. Renewing your vows is always great, especially with your son witnessing it. Nothing could be sweeter. I am happy for you. Don't hesitate about pushing through with it. It's something worth looking back in your lifetime. | | | | | | |

| | I, personally, think it wouldn't be appropriate to try to have a church wedding at this point. You had your wedding, and it was probably the kind of wedding you wanted/decided to have. (I don't know - maybe you couldn't have a big wedding and always regretted it, but what's done is done.) I think you should just tell your little boy, "Oh - that's not the kind of wedding we had." People have their own kinds of weddings, and as long as you're happy with the marriage it isn't as if you have anything to hide or regret. Part of the whole thing about a wedding isn't the "show" but the fact that two people who aren't married get married. There's a whole "mood" to the situation, and if people are already married all that "mood" wouldn't (I don't think) be there. It would (again, my opinion only) just be like a make-believe wedding that gave everyone a chance to dress up and pretend. Your son probably doesn't really care a whole lot about whether you have a wedding picture in the house. He was probably just being curious because some other kid brought one to school. My parents had a back-of-the-church type of wedding, and I can't say I ever really cared. All I cared about was what kind of wedding I wanted for myself. | | | | | | |

| | I guess your right. It's more about me I guess. I want to get married to church because of the blessing from God that I am longing.Thanks for the comment and keep on mylotting. | | | |

| | Don't guess that I'm right or that anyone else is right. You should do what you want to do for yourself. (My point was I didn't think you should do it because your child asked about the picture). If you've always wanted to feel that your marriage received the blessing of a church/God then you should do what you want to do. That's a very different thing that doing it because your son asked. My personal belief is that if you're happy with your marriage and you've got your little boy - that, in itself, would seem to show that God has blessed your marriage. You could always talk to someone at the church, tell them the situation, and ask if they had ideas for a small ceremony (maybe with just immediate family and a cake afterward - or something like that?) Happy wedding if you end up deciding to do it. Don't pay attention to other people's opinions anyway (including mine). :) | | | |

| | my wife and i were living together for 8 years now. we have 4 kids. yet im planning to marry her this year. october 23 to be exact. i believe it makes a family more blessed having the blessing from HIM thru the church.. my friend told me that his son experienced inferiority complex but amazingly it was gone after they got married. i just dont know if there are some connections with that but my friend believed that somehow, it makes the child timid. | | | | | | |
