A traditional ceremony is not necessary, but would give you additional evidence of your bonafide relationship to submit to USCIS.

If you have plenty of pictures together, both of the honeymoon, before, and after, alongside your chat records you should be okay. My husband and I had a very small ceremony, and although we dressed up (white dress for me, him in a suit) we didn't have a huge reception or party of any sort. After we were married we went to a restaurant with those we'd invited (about 12 people) and then called it a night. For our petition we submitted pictures of us during the previous times we'd met before the wedding, and pictures of the wedding. We included a sampling of our chat conversations from facebook, skype, and the instant messenger program we use over the two years we'd been talking. I also have him listed as the beneficiary on my life insurance, so we submitted that. Our case was approved without an RFE.

If you have evidence that you've spent time as a couple around other people (friends or family members) that would prove useful to your case to show you've integrated into each other's lives.

tq u for ur kind reply.....info is very useful for me .... mine case is arrange marriage .... we dnt hv pic befor marriage but hve sufficient pic of honeymoon n trip....will it be sufficient??so confused.

For arranged marriages, I'm not sure. Hopefully someone else will be able to jump in and provide you with the information you need.

As far as I know, you need to prove that the relationship you have with your spouse is genuine. Hopefully a sampling of chat records will prove that. Please continue to seek advice from others more knowledgeable than I am. I wish you the best of luck!

Don't worry about what you don't have. We had no traditional wedding pictures...in fact, we had no pictures of the wedding at all. Focus on the evidence you do have. It is not like you can ethically manufacture evidence that does not exist.
