    Me and the Missus are getting hitched and we have to do it soon for visa reasons. We can't organize a big ceremony and get all our families together in such a short time so we're planning to get registered without much ado and have a ceremony on our first anniversary. Is that crazy, will the guests think it silly?

    First wedding anniversary party. Sounds great. You can still have cake and photos and a band and nice clothes, and all your loved ones. Hot buffet lots of champagne. Smashing.

    You could have the ceremony, and send out wedding announcements mentioning your plan to those you want to know?

    Something like X and Y are pleased to announce our marriage by a private ceremony on such a date. Our wedding was small but we hope you can join us to celebrate on our first anniversary.

    Lovely idea! Not at all silly! Might as well get the necessary business out of the way and celebrate when you have the time to organise properly and get everyone together!

    No it's a lovely idea. My partner's parents actually did the same. They were living abroad, got married in a civil ceremony other there, then when they moved back home 12 months later they had the big Irish wedding. I've often thought about it myself. Takes a lot of pressure off. Then when you're having the celebration (on the 1st anniversary is a great idea!) it is just a party to celebrate and no stress!
