Civil wedding or Church Wedding?

My husband and I got married outside behind my trailer house in a trailer park. We have been married for almost 18 years now. I want to have the real church wedding with him. I got married in my old prom dress from junior year in high school and he wore his jeans. I want the wedding dress and tuxes. The whole thing. He keeps telling me we will renew our vows when we hit 20 years and I can have the wedding, reception, and dance. I didn't mind getting married outside but it's just not the same without all the dressing up and the dance after words. Maybe I can talk him into a honeymoon to.

i'd still want a church wedding. nothing compares to it. but if i cant afford to have one yet, i think being wed thru civil rites will do for the moment. ultimately it has to end in church.

i would prefer to have a church wedding..for me, civil wedding is making you married in the eyes of the people around you but if you get married in the church, you are making it also official with God and i think that would be so much better..

i would prefer a beach wedding with a reverend. i used to want a church wedding but i really would love a beach wedding with just my friends and family not everyone in the world. i don't want a civil wedding because that's just plain and i want something to remember so i will wait to have my beach wedding as it will probably be a bit expensive.

Whatever makes my partner happy. I don't need a ceremony or a piece of paper. If my marriage was any indication they were meaningless to my wife. So, when I am finished playing the field again, all I want is share with someone who isn't playing games. That's going to be a while right now I have a large playing field.

My husband and I had our civil wedding and officiated by a reverend. So legally we are married. However, because of our culture in the Philippines, we both feel that we should still have a church wedding. Sort of "renewal of vows" sometime in the future. This is for the blessing of the church. I think times now have changed to having the practical thinking than than of the traditional one. However, we cannot change the norms for our parents and relatives. Of course, every father would want to walk her daughter down the aisle, right?

I wanted both, civil wedding is to comply with the law and the church will bless your marriage. The latter is very important to me because I believe marriage is a sacred thing and needs blessings from God to have it worked no matter how difficult marriage could be.
