DPB Bride 2012 - We are getting married April 20, 2012 and my finance was also set on legally getting married on the date we would be getting married. He didn't care that it cost the extra money - it was just extremely important to him so of course, it's important to me too! Because the judge only does morning/afternoon ceremonies we had to get creative. We are having the judge legally marry us at 1230p (the only time he is available) and doing that privately with two friends as witnesses and then having another symbolic ceremony later in the day (at 430p) so that we could be married in front of all our guests. Then we will be able to have a 5p cocktail hour and a 630p dinner reception. This allowed for us to get married legally on the same day yet still met my requirements for having a late afternoon wedding so we could drink and dance into the night. Hope this helps! nikki
