My my wife recently flew from Tehran, entered US at LAX with expired green card and extension letter. No issues at all, no secondary inspection. Also, her passport has maiden name, vs married name on green card.
No, unfortunately not...

The distinction between a wedding and a wedding-party is difficult to make, I think. At least from an outside perspective.
To me, a marriage is a legal agreement, and so (if we do it) it wouldn't be a marriage because it won't be legal.
I.e. the lack of legal status is the very thing that makes it a non-wedding.
In my country, the laws are very clear. A marriage is only a real marriage if it is registered with the Government department for these things.
A de-facto relationship only occurs if you live together in a 'marriage-type relationship' for at least 12 months. This is also not the case because he lives in the US, and I live here.
In light of the above, I would call it a wedding-type party, and not a marriage.
Nevertheless, I understand the points made, and thank you all for your advice.
We will re-assess our situation and see what our other options are.
