Courthouse Wedding??

[tree28]

I plan to get married this summer. I know I'm not going to have a wedding ceremony. I was wondering would it be ok as a Christian to get married at the courthouse rather than having a minister marry us. I have no objections to a minister but just wondered. Thanks for the responses!!

what could there possibly be wrong with a courthouse wedding? married is married whether its in a church by a pastor or in a courthouse by a justice of the peace.

I had friends that got married 3 weeks ago at a courthouse. They had the choice of choosing a christian wedding . I didnot attend the wedding but they recorded it . It was really touching ! The justice was really warm and the prayers and advice he gave were so touching.
Maybe you can consider that option.

I would be so tempted to do that if it wasn't important to me (and my boyfriend) to make that commitment in front of our family, friends and Christian community.

Why won't you have a wedding ceremony? OR what do you mean by 'wedding ceremony'?

I wanted to have a garden wedding when I got married, but got pushed into having it in the church. I often still fantasise about doing it all again, differently this time. In the end the wedding is a lovely day out for everyone else, but one of THE lifetime memories for you and your man. Listen to everyone's opinions and try to think clearly (by planning everything ridiculously early!!) - but do it to yours and your man's taste, not anyone else's.
