rescheduled wedding

Hello!

We too have had to postpone our September wedding by 12 months, so I completely empathise with you!

If you are doing the legal thing now and the celebration later, what about a hand fasting? Depending on how the structure of the celebration is designed, you could repeat your vows in front of your extended family and friends, either with or without the services of a Celebrant. A Celebrant does not have the legal powers of a Registrar, (assuming you go ahead with a pared down wedding this year), but can lend gravitas to a situation, nonetheless.

Maybe you could borrow some traditions from other cultures to incorporate into your celebration event?

Other non-denominational traditions include Unity candles and Sand ceremonies. Anything which represents two separate entities becoming one. None of these have any legal or religious elements, so may fit the bill for you.

Hope this helps,

Thank you Ali definitely some options to think about there.

Hope you have an amazing wedding.

We are having our ceremony on our original date 12/09 at our venue (hopefully followed by a small garden party for our 30 guests) and then we have moved the main reception to September next year as almost like a 1st anniversary party.

When I sent out the change of date cards I said that we would be doing a wedding blessing followed by reception, although having spoken to my H2B he doesn't really see the point and thinks we should just have the full on fun party. I partly feel like this is cheating those who won't be able to come this year out of part of the day but like you I dont really know what to do. We are going to leave it until we have got the wedding this year done and then see how we feel about the details of the day nearer the time.
