Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

My fiance and I are engaged to be married August 2010. Is it legal to get married twice to the same person without being divorced? We have personal reasons that we want to get married now, however we do not want to hurt anyones feelings since we already have plans with family and friends for next year. So two weddings? Legal? How would that work with the marriage certificate?

You can have a marriage ceremony as many times as you want, however, you purchase only one marriage license.

You can have as many ceremonies as you want as long as you have the first one within the prescribed time on the marriage license.
