{{{SMW}}} You know what..I had to think "wow" when I read your note, my hub and I did that too..as far as having 2 weddings, we got married a few months before our "church wedding" for similar reasons, he was in the Marine Corps and would have been leaving in January and didn't want to have the paperwork taking too long for me to be covered while he was gone, so we, like you, had a "secret" service and a for real service
Another similiarity is that I totally want a vow renewal service beachside too..I can totally see that happening and I just want it small and beautiful..
Also, that While I'm Waiting song has gotten me thru more days than I could EVER explain or tell anyone!
So hugs to you today, I just had to comment on how similar things were in those regards..YOU are wonderful and BEAUTIFUL and are strong and a blessing
