What Did You Do for Your Courthouse Wedding?
So, I'm getting married in a few months. My fiance is getting deployed in April, so we wanted to sign papers first and then have a real wedding next year. However, I still wanted to do something decently special for our courthouse wedding. For those of you who have done the 'signing papers' thing, I would like to know how you all did it and how you guys celebrated! I just want some nice ideas, thank you!

My wife and I were married just over 40 years ago. We would have liked to have had a traditional Polish wedding as my wife is Polish. Since my future in=laws were putting my -future brother in-law through F.I.T. we chose instead to have a civil ceremony presided over by a Judge friend of my Uncle.
The Judge asked in lieu of a fee that we make a donation to a good charity. As a fire fighter a chose to make a donation to the local fire department.
The ceremony took place in the judges chambers with immediate family present. He remarked,"Hey I'm on a role, two life sentences in one day." When we left the court house the local fire fighters were out front and made an arch with crossed pike poles for us to walk under. Then my parents held a luncheon for family members and very close friend.
As the years have past my wife and have come to feel we missed nothing by not having a fancy wedding.
Congratulations to you both and please thank your fiance for his service and to you, thank you for your sacrifice while he is deployed.

Firstly, congratulations! Yeah, I think a small get together/party/dinner would be a fun idea. It could be for your family/closest friends. When you have the ceremony later then pull out all the bells and whistles and invite everyone you know to help you two celebrate!

One of my mom's friends had a courthouse wedding and it was simple, but nice. They exchanged rings and all that with her closest friends and family there.
Afterwards, she had a small party at her house with cake, food and drinks. I'd say go for that idea seeing as it's not boring and is still enjoyable for everyone else. :)
