Second Time

I have been married before and unfortunately divorced. I am planning to get married again and am unsure of what to do. I see alot of people getting married more than once choosing to go for registry office do's and wearing more informal gear. I know that I have had a wedding day before but I don't want this one to be less special just because I have done it before. Is it ok to have the big dress and the big do second time around or does it just appear tacky? HELP

I think you should have the wedding YOU want-its your wedding-your choice. And besides that it is perfectly acceptable to have a large wedding on a second marriage anyway

I think its perfectly fine to have the grandest wedding ever... even if it is your second time

Thanks for that Very Happy

I have decided to go for the big do... we are keeping it elegant though to add a bit of maturity to it. I booked a posh country hotel setting and I have seen the dress I want. and yes it is fairly grand but I think suitable Very Happy

Andi, I am getting married for the second time next August, I'm having a quiet church wedding at our Methodist Church where I'm a member. Followed bey a small reception. BUT this wedding will be as important, if not more so than my first, & I am wearing a special dress.

It's not the size of the wedding but the thought's behind it that matters.

This will be both mine and my partners second marriage and we had the same thoughts, but it is our wedding day after all and although it will be a register office wedding it makes it no less a wedding and yes, i will be wearing a nice dress and having a very informal but very fun party afterwards - with all our 6 children Razz

Our 6 consist of my 17 yr daughter, 12yr son and 7 yr daughter, my partners sons aged 10 and 6 and our baby who is 9 weeks old. They will all play a part in the wedding as ushers, bridesmaid, flowergirl and my son is giving me away with my dad. We're having great fun dress shopping at the moment Confused

Hi, I married in a registry office 1st time round at sweet sixteen which ended in divorce 13 years later. I then met my new husband and between us have five children. He had never been married before and was hoping to have a church wedding, but we were unable to because of my divorce.

So we decided to get married in the registry office on a thursday with just our witnesses present. Then on the saturday we had a church blessing, which was just like the real thing, with the special dress, our daugthers were brides maids and two of our sons were page boys and my eldest son walked me up the aisle, as my dad had passed away the year before. We had the bells, the photographer the works, and a wonderful reception straight after. At the age of 35 I never dreamt that I would remarry and be so happy.

I would just like to wish you all the best .
