Married without anyone knowing

Katelyn, on November 27, 2024 at 12:28 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 3
Hey all! So my fiance and I have decided to get married because he is extending his contract in the military and we have been doing long distance for the past three years and we are tired of it and want to be together. We talked about doing it in December last year but our whole family found out because it was posted in the paper and they completely ruined it for us and we ended up not going through with it. We want to try again this year but without them finding out. How do we do it without them finding out. We are in Pa and the last time it was posted in the paper without us even asking for it to be. So is there a way to avoid that

    You would have to check the laws for your specific county, as it may be a requirement. If so, you don’t need to get married in the county (or even state) you live in. You can find a place that doesn’t have that requirement and elope (either at the courthouse or some scenic location).

    Why do you even care if they find out? You are both adults so if you want to get married do that. Marriages are public record so if someone wants to find out they can.

    What went wrong with the family finding out about the planned marriage?
