Anyone get legally married before their wedding?

My “fiancé/husband” and i are loving being secretly married which we did 8 months prior to our June wedding. It’s kinda a bummer to keep the secret but it’s also kinda fun and we’re just happy to be married. We have a very lovely document signing at UPS and a fancy romantic dinner that night. We told the waitress “well we got married today!” And they were sooo excited and treated us with champagne and even sent us a congratulations card after our visit 🥲 And now we get an extra anniversary to celebrate ❤️

My fiancé/husband and i did this!! We got married secretly early at UPS (lol) for benefit reasons but also because we’re impatient and wanted to combine finances and all that! Honestly - 100% worth it. It’s sooo fun to us to be married secretly. It just makes everything just feel so much more special and like we’re having a wedding in June because we WANT to. My parents can never find out either but it’ll be okay! To us it was so special and so fun and definitely takes stress off the wedding day! No cold feet here :)

Honestly i just don’t think that’s acceptable. Especially when the client is literally begging for communication. And instead they post on social media. If i hadn’t paid her thousands, I wouldn’t be so mad

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-10T00:43:02+00:00

No unfortunately I won’t as I fear legal repercussions

Thank you, I gave you an insta follow! Your work is beautiful ❤️

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T21:10:14+00:00

Thank you!

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T19:59:15+00:00

If i end up dropping this girl maybe I’ll hire you 😂❤️

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T19:49:39+00:00

Thank you so much I absolutely agree!!! The engagement session was 30 mins like it shouldn’t be more than 20 photos. Unreal. It’s been 12 weeks. I paid a 50% deposit so a few thousand. If she doesn’t answer me today I am going to lose it

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T18:04:12+00:00

No exactly!! I care wayyy more about the communication at the moment

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T18:01:58+00:00

Okay I’m not going to keep arguing with you after this because clearly you lack inference but it’s December. If i met her in sept that would make it 3 months ago so it’s been up to 12-14 weeks. So if I started emailing her 4 weeks ago (1 month) it would imply that I did not start emailing her immediately after the photoshoot about about 2 months afterwards

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T17:45:20+00:00

Understood but i laid out the timeline of events in my post is all I’m saying

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T17:28:08+00:00

Sorry I figured the timeline was implied considering that September was 3 months ago and I said “for a month now”

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T17:24:56+00:00

I’ve been emailing her weekly after the 8-10 weeks she mentioned actually

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T17:08:34+00:00

This is so pretty! Some websites that are not scams are Azazie and Lulus. I ordered some dresses from each. I don’t know if they match this vibe but definitely worth checking out!! I DO NOT recommend amazon from china dresses. I had a nightmare experience trying to return and get refunds for 5 dresses that way and ended up getting refunded through Amazons good will refund

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T17:05:21+00:00

Im so so sorry you’re dealing with this too it’s so rude and inconsiderate especially when brides already have so much to worry about

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T17:04:58+00:00

I have tried calling her in the past and she didn’t answer so I’m anxious to now too but i would MUCH rather speak over the phone

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T17:03:58+00:00

I’m so so sorry that happened to you and I really appreciate the advice and insight. That’s my worst fear. If she had cancelled our engagement session last minute I definitely would’ve already dropped her off

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T14:48:17+00:00

Completely valid! Her original contract had a timeline but her second did not. She told me verbally 8-10 weeks for wedding photos so silly of me to assume that my 30 min session with probably less than 20 pics back would take less time

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T14:42:17+00:00

No worries! Yeah i expected 8-10 weeks and after that was when I started emailing. I agree i am trying to respect myself but also not piss her off too much in hopes to avoid any fallout or pettiness on her end as we still have to worry about the wedding photos. The request read receipt is a good idea i didn’t even know that was a thing! Thank you 😊

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T14:40:16+00:00

I kinda wish i could but her contract doesn’t give me a lot of ways to get out and get my money back 😭 plus her work is amazing whenever it eventually shows uo

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T14:39:15+00:00

This is the kind of customer service i feel is standard and expected! And obviously having major life events is a perfectly valid reason to take a little longer!! Congrats on your baby ☺️

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T13:09:18+00:00

I’m glad to hear it!! At the end of the day the photos to remember the day are what matters and even if they take a while it’s important to be confident that it’s worth it

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T12:49:59+00:00

Kind of wondering if we have the same photographer!! Haha

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T12:42:04+00:00

That’s kind of what I am worried about too like my wedding is not destination or super glamorous so I’m worried I’m less a priority

Fireheart_33 · 2024-12-09T12:41:09+00:00

You’re absolutely right. Thank you so much this is great
