Goose Creek is definitely one of the easiest school commands to marry at.
Trying to cram it in on Friday afternoon may be a logistical nightmare. Emily has some very good advice there.
You can always do the courthouse wedding and do a "real" wedding later. When his dad and all your family can be there, too. :)
And it wouldn't be weekssss for housing to go through. More like a week at most... really, more realistically it would probably be two or three days if you guys got on top of the paperwork. And maybe your sailor could help out with that cost... Aaron and I always try to split the costs of my visits... I pay for airfare and he pays for hotel.
I know that neither way is really desirable... they both have their pros and cons. You just have to weigh them all and decide which is the better choice.
And Anti M is right. Goose Creek is definitely the easiest to get married at. And they have some of the most relaxed liberty rules. And it's nice because you'll be there for awhile. Plus their housing is really REALLY nice. :) Goose Creek rocks... it just smells pretty bad. Specially during the summer. :P
Your welcome. Not trying to tell you what to do, just trying to give you all the facts I know. :)
And seriously, if you ever have any questions, please don't be afraid to message me. :)
Welcome to the crazy world of a Nuke significant other! :)
Yes, please come back and tell details! I'm not married yet... So we still have that stage to go. All I know is what I read from other's experiences.
He wants to get married in SC on the beach, but having my family there (especially my one grandma) is extremely important. I wouldn't mind a courthouse wedding in SC first and a real wedding later...
But as of now it will just end up whenever we can plan it... Who knows when he's going to be gone on deployment! The end of prototype is coming tooooo quickly for my liking!
