My husband and I got married this past November due to the fact that I had cancer and needed his insurance in order to get the surgery I needed. My problem is that this was a year sooner than our planned wedding. The ceremony was small, with just our immediate family, and was done all within 2 weeks. Is it wrong to have the traditional wedding on our intended date? There are members of both families that do not know that we got married. Is it ok to write my maiden name on the invitations? I need help on this whole issue. thanks

I'm sorry that you were sick and hope that you are on the road to recovery now.
Because you are already married, this ceremony you'd be planning would be considered a vow renewal.
Since you wouldn't want to give your guests a false impression, you should send out wedding announcements as soon as possible and then vow renewal invitations, which will obviously include your married name, since that is your name now, and has been for a year.
The ceremony and party to follow can still be a wonderful day where you'll celebrate your marriage, and life, with all of those you care about. Just be sure to be truthful, with yourselves, and your guests. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
