Legal ceremony before or after?

Do you have an image in your mind of what you want the evening party to be? If you are picturing a summer evening with people mingling outside and a late sunset then you may need to consider doing it before. Whereas if you don't mind it being wet and cold outside because everyone is inside having a great time then it doesn't matter if you do it later into autumn.

It's down to personal preference really, but I'd go for the legal ceremony first, because until it happens, you aren't actually legally married, so to me, it feels a bit weird to be celebrating something that hasn't happened yet!

If you're worried about the overseas wedding not being special enough, you can just downplay the celebration after your legal ceremony - but most people I know who've had both say that both are special, just in a different way.

We're having a legal ceremony before - RomanticGreen makes a good argument for this, another one is that if you have anything like a wedding (even if non-legal) our registry office said it can really complicated the process of getting legally married (it's doable of course just more of a headache!)

I've been debating this too on a seperate thread! A lot of people just go for as close as they can get to their main wedding, which we debated... but I'd actually really like it to be a sentimental date too. Our dating anniversary was a top contender for us but we've decided to try to do it on what would have been my grandma's birthday as a way to feel like she's there with us
