Go for it. Especially if it is for legal reasons. The military takes quite a while to get everything processed. My husband and I were married at the DMV last December (lol, right? we didn't even get a courthouse wedding) and it wasn't until late March I was considered a spouse by the Army. The sooner you can get all of the paperwork done the better! Honestly, who cares what anyone thinks? It's your life, your marriage, so as long as you and your SO are happy no one elses opinion matters. A beautiful ceremony can be planned for later on down the road and I'm sure that being married already won't take anything away from that special day!
Did you have a second ceremony or just your December DMV wedding? So foreign to me. I loathe the DMV.

Actually, what I was wondering was how long was the wait? Here (RMV) we have to wait in line for hours just to get our drivers licenses renewed. It's really annoying!
On a typical weekday at any given time, the line at my DMV is out of the door and the employees are so nasty. I couldn't imagine getting married at that nightmare of a place. I'm very happy it worked for you
We plan to have a ceremony later on. It's hard to plan anything with his always changing schedule. Surprisingly there was only one couple ahead of us so the wait wasn't very long. Maybe it was because it was a Saturday morning, who knows.

Thank goodness! I'm so glad that it wasn't the experience that we have in the Registry of motor vehicles here. Do you think that you're going to have a big second wedding? Obviously, when your DH's schedule allows for it? I was honestly glad that we did the second wedding. Even though it was also small, it was nice to have our closest friends and family there to witness our vows.
@taysun@bostonbaby1 we can schedule appointments at the DMV where I am. Most people don't know that. If you just have to go to a dmv, you have to know which one to go to and when. You can avoid SO much has the like that.
