It's even harder when your future spouse is in the military. Luckily, my sailor is in and we live together so I get to bug him with wedding stuff all the time. (I think sometimes he wishes he were out to sea.)
I figured I'd list some common annoyances (and that's all they really are at the end of the day...you're getting married and that's what counts!!!!) that come with planning a wedding with the military in tow.
- Your future spouse might be at their duty station or deployed during the whole wedding planning process.
- You might be in limbo over a wedding date because you can't get leave nailed down.
- It might be quite some time before you get to live with your new spouse.
- A honeymoon might not be in the cards due to deployments and/or leave.
- There's a mess of paperwork involved and until it's all done you might as well not be married.
Now that I've sufficiently scared you.........leave some comments!! What are some things you ran into when planning your wedding?
our problems were finding someone to marry us, finding a place to get married...getting a dress, and shoes, and my nails done, figuring out which uniform N was going to wear...getting everyone there that we wanted there...all in less then 24 hours (we're doing a vow renewal/"big" wedding in a few years...
