show and hide div with jquery while using validate plugin

I'm having issues trying to get the fadeIn/Out method AND the form submission to happen within the same script.

Often what's happening is that one will work, and the other won't. I've worked on this for about 6 hours now and I'm sure there is some logic that I'm unfortunately overlooking.

An explanation or breakdown of how this should be written would be greatly appreciated!

HTML

<form id="form" action="#">
                        <div class="formmesage"><p>Hi, I'm </p></div>
                            <div class="nameinput">
                                <input id="name" class="required" type="text" name="name" placeholder="name" tabindex="1"> 
                            </div>
                        <div class="formmesage"><p>and I'm a </p></div>
                            <div class="selection">
                                <select id="profession" name="profession" tabindex="2">
                                    <option type="text" value="designer">designer</option>
                                    <option value="developer">developer</option>
                                    <option value="designer &amp; developer">designer &amp; developer</option>
                                </select>
                            </div>
                        <div class="formmesage"><p>looking to meet other </p></div>
                            <div class="selection">
                                <select id="pairprofession" name="pairprofession" tabindex="3">
                                    <option type="text" value="designer">designers</option>
                                    <option value="developer">developers</option>
                                    <option value="designer &amp; developer">designer &amp; developers</option>
                                </select>
                            </div>
                        <div class="formmesage "><p>in</p></div>
                            <div class="selection">
                                <select id="location" name="location" tabindex="4">
                                    <option type="text" value="New York" p>New York</option>
                                    <option value="Boston">Boston</option>
                                    <option value="Chicago">Chicago</option>
                                </select>
                            </div>
                        <div class="btn">
                            <input id="email" class="required email" type="text" name="email" placeholder="[email protected]" tabindex="5">
                            <button type="submit">submit</button>
                        </div>
                    </form><!-- form -->

JQUERY

$(document).ready(function(){
 $("#form").validate();
  $("#form").submit(function(){
   $("button").click(function(){
    $("#form").delay(500).fadeOut("slow");
     $(".message").delay(1000).fadeIn("slow");
     return false;
     })         
   })
})

I think it should be written like this

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#form").validate({
        submitHandler : function(){
            $("#form").delay(500).fadeOut("slow", function(){
                $(".message").fadeIn("slow");
            });
            return false;
        }
    });
});

Validate is doing the submit, do you don't need a submit binding. If you want to modify the action after submit, there's an option for validate : submitHandler. Then after a delay of 500ms, fade out start. When the fadeout is finish, the fadein start.
