So I did a thing yesterday…I got legally married! Why do I say it like that? Well, I shared in a previous blog post about why I am having two different weddings and a little bit about our unique story. Yesterday was my civil ceremony or the legal ceremony and next year will be the big wedding with all of the bells and whistles.
My fiancé (or I guess now husband…) is from Switzerland, where we have lived for the last several years. Now that we are ready to start a new chapter of our lives in my hometown, Dallas, we decided to get married before our big wedding to start the green card process since it takes so long.
Rather than simply having a courthouse wedding, we still wanted the day to be special. For those in Dallas, we got married at The Poetry Garden at the Dallas Arboretum, one of my favorite spots that makes you feel like you aren’t in the city. If you are planning a wedding in the Dallas area or simply wanting to have an intimate affair, I hope this gives you a few ideas for what you can achieve. I am so happy with how it all came together.
If you would like to know more details about my civil ceremony or are planning on doing one yourself, let me know in the comment section below!
Congrats on getting married! You look beautiful and I love how even though you are having a big wedding next year that you still wanted to make it special!
