Re: [ArmyGirl96B] Second Ceremony etiquette

I am sorry this reply took a little while. I had thought I replied to it but apparently something happened either with the computer or my memory. 
First, I want to thank you and your husband for serving our country. Under the circumstances it is very understandable why you would have a wedding in Germany and then want to share the event and celebration with family and friends in the United States once you return.
I am assuming that the normal "white" wedding will be a religious ceremony and if it is here is how I would handle it. On the invitations, I would characterize it as a "Blessing of our Marriage". This way there will not be confusion as to what you are doing with people who know that you are already married. I also think a full reception and celebration is appropriate. You were presented with a set of circumstances that made a full celebration difficult, if not, impossible. There is no reason why you should be denied the wedding of your dreams because you were defending our country when you fell in love.
God Bless, best wishes and thanks again. Bob
