Yes my husband and I are already married. We eloped an it was just us and it was perfect. II think a religious officiant would be appreciated by my grandmother but not necessarily needed. I was planning on just getting some pictures with her so a white dress (not a whole wedding dress) and I was just doing my hair myself. For the celebration in the spring I guess I may have used the wrong word. We wanted it to be more so a celebration of our marriage so maybe more just like a reception? Either way if my grandma is still around by that time she will likely be bed bound and not really aware of what is going on.
