So this morning I got married to my amazing boyfriend and we haven't told a sole, except our two neighbours.

🥰🥰🥂

Based on some of the awful wedding threads on here, you've saved yourself a lot of stress/anxiety Grin

My partner was worried about his morality so we got married a year before we are getting married.

I'm telling 👞

SummersOverSeasideTown · 05/10/2021 14:51

Grin big difference between morality and mortality!

LadyLothbrook · 05/10/2021 14:51

@TeachesofPeaches 😂

Congrats OP. Sorry to hear your husband is worried about his mortality. Does he have an illness or is it health anxiety?

wombatspoopcubes · 05/10/2021 14:53

Congratulations!

We got married in secret too due to other reasons. Told the family a year later. It was such a nice and non-stressful day.

Only MIL disagreed, the rest was happy for us (it helped that marrying in secret is a bit of a tradition in my family)

TopCatsTopHat · 05/10/2021 14:53

Lovely. 😍

I'm very sorry and hope you have a healthy and happy future together

ODFOx · 05/10/2021 14:59

Congratulations!
Are you going to make an announcement and have a party or just carry on and wait for someone to notice the rings/if you've changed your name etc?

MrMrsJones · 05/10/2021 15:11

Thank you everyone 💓

We are getting married properly next year, we shall never tell anyone 😉

Mischance · 05/10/2021 15:18

You are married properly now. If I were you I would skip the big wedding - there are better things for your money to be spent on.

How will you have this "proper" wedding? - you can't register a marriage twice! Auto-bigamy!!?? Grin

MrMrsJones · 05/10/2021 15:22

It's all booked
It will be renewing marriage vows

Family would be devastated if they knew

Congratulations Smile

I'm posting partly in curiosity as I've always wondered how that would work, getting an officiant to lie, and then dealing with family wanting to sign the witness form.

@MrMrsJones

They may not be, you know. We got married with two witnesses because neither of us had the time, will or patience to organise something big, and we only told family several years later, by which time it was far too old a story for anyone to get exercised about.

Congratulations!
