My fiance and I are getting married at the court house but his family wants a "real" wedding. I want to please them because they have been very good to me,is it stupid to have a "fake" wedding? All the fun and celebration without the stress.
 
I am going to a wedding like that today! The couple got married by the JP so that they could get the increased military pay. I guess it isn't stupid if it would make your family who you love happy.

The invite I got says:
X and Y were married Date
By a Justice of the Peace
in Location

Now they would like to share the experience with their friends and family.
Please join us for this celebration.

You are invited to the wedding reaffirmation of
X and Y

(date, info, etc)
 
We ran off to Las Vegas for our wedding then had a reception for our family and friends when we got back. That seemed to keep everyone happy.
 
Same "Marriage Certificate" either way, find a compromise to keep parents happy, if possible. BTW no wedding should be fake, take the vows seriously, even if repeated for an audience. How about a small house wedding with a minister, instead of judge?
