Civil Wedding Vows

How does it work if you have a civil ceremony and then a wedding about a year later?

When do you have the bridal party, honeymoon.....and so on

1. For me the wedding never happened so good luck. Now divorced.
2. My daughter's friend just went thru this. They got pregnant and didn't want to have a church wedding while she was pregnant, so they went to the courthouse and had a civil wedding, then had the "real" wedding about 13 months later. It was a church wedding complete with 8 bridesmaids & groomsmen. She had been married previously, so her 9 year old daughter was her flower girl or a Jr. Bridesmaid or something like that. Anyway, you can do the big church wedding complete with the bridal party, reception, then the honeymoon maybe up to a year after the civil ceremony.
3. I am in the same situation. I had a civil ceremony last year. now i am planning my real wedding for next year on the same day we originally got married..i always wanted a some what big wedding..if you want to do it. go ahead.. there is nothing wrong with that.
