Hi everyone,
My fiance lives in ontario and I live in NY. We are planning on getting married and living together in ontario. Currently we need some advice on timing. We know we need a wedding certificate for our sponsorship/PR application and this will take some weeks to get after the wedding, and we also know we want to submit pictures of the ceremony and reception. We want to get things done quickly, so we are considering getting married in a civil ceremony with just a few people there, ordering the certificate, getting started on all the paperwork, and then having a big celebration and more formal ceremony a couple months later, by which time we should have everything assembled, taking pictures, and then submitting everything shortly afterwords.
I know there are a million other things to consider and plan for, but as far as the idea of marrying early and having the celebration later, does this seem like a sensible plan? Is there any reason this would be a problem?
I would really appreciate any input on this, thanks so much
