Here's the situation:

We got legally married (court marriage) on 12/12/2012 in India and we had the wedding ceremonies (traditional BIG FAT indian wedding) on 12/23/2012. We waited to have our ceremonies done at a later date so our friends and families from oversees could fly in to india and attend the wedding. Will this be a RED flag or should we be concerned during the embassy interview? All our official records show 12/12/2012 and no where have we mentioned the 23rd date - for we assumed this was just a "celebration" and not a legal marriage...

Thanks
