Is Just One Wedding Ceremony Enough? By Chris Morton At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Not all marriages end up being happily ever after tales. Some, sadly, end in divorce even after the most elaborate and romantic weddings. Take, for example, the interesting weddings actress Pamela Anderson and musician Kid Rock had before their marriage came to a quick end in November.

Short Engagement
On July 29th, the couple were married on a yacht in Saint-Tropez, France just eleven days after announcing their re-engagement (the couple had been previously engaged but broke up in 2003). While photos of the wedding show her wearing a white string bikini similar to the one she wore when she married Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee in 1995, she insists that she wore the bikini only after the wedding was completed.

Although the wedding was reportedly a lot of fun – at least based on claims by people who attended, such as Elton John's husband, David Furnish – it wasn't legal. French law requires all couples to exchange their vows in the mayor's office.

Making It Legal
On August 3rd, Pamela and Kid ended up making it legal in a much more subdued manner at a courthouse in Beverly Hills, California. No one but the couple and a friend were present to see their vows exchanged.

Just fourteen days later, the couple were married again. This time they tied the knot on stage at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge in Nashville, Tennessee in front of a surprised crowd of patrons. The ceremony was done by an actual judge from the county and ended with Kid singing a “Some Kind of Wonderful” to Pamela.

With three ceremonies under their belts, the couple tried to make a go of the whole marriage thing only to find out within just a few months that it wasn't meant to be. However, that doesn't mean you can't take something away from their adventure.

Taking Weddings to Your Relations
While it may seem crazy to have so many ceremonies, it might not be such a bad idea for some couples. You both want your families to be able to attend but what if the distance is too far for them to travel? Who makes the sacrifice of not having their family present on the most important day of their lives? Well, the answer could be neither. You could have multiple ceremonies – although you might want to keep all of them a little low-key for budget reasons – in different locations.

Or perhaps you want to get married quickly because you're expecting a child or one of you is being shipped out with the military. You could have a quick courthouse marriage now, then plan a bigger event later.

You might also have your heart set on a destination wedding, such as Saint Tropez, yet your families want to be present as you exchange your vows. There's no reason you couldn't have both weddings and make everyone happy, right?

The bottom line is that while Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock's multiple weddings may have seemed like a crazy publicity stunt leading up to another failed celebrity marriage, there's no reason why you couldn't do something similar in order to have the wedding(s) you want.
