Second Marriage

I feel that if two people who have been divorced want to wed again, it is their choice on how they do it. People will have their opinions on the situation but ultimately its up to the couple. If their friends and family choose not to participate then so be it. There should be no expectations of friends and family since it is not the first time around.

I think it is up to the bride and groom. I paid for my second wedding and I wore white. WE paid for everything, so it isnt anyone elses choice what we did

i can't see why they couldn't have another wedding. and the whole bride wearing white is so old now that i do not think it really matters anymore. I was married and i am now going through a divorce and my current boyfriend and i are talking marriage down the road. we want to get married in vegas and when we get home have a huge party inviting all our friends and family. if my friends and family do not want to attend that is their decision.

It really is no one place to judge. It is your day, your decision. I can tell you that I did the long white dress and veil for my first wedding, tuxedos and ushers and bridesmaids but during the preparations I wanted to toss it all and just elope. Arguing over seating plans got ridiculous. For my second wedding, it was my husband's first wedding so we went to his family's province to have the wedding so very few members of my family attended. It was his first so I thought it was the right thing to do. His mother said we would split the wedding 3 ways - 1/3 his parents, 1/3 my parents, 1/3 us. We couldn't afford it so my parents paid our third even though they made the trip down there. I don't think that was really very fair. We did not have a gala affair. DH wore a suit and I wore a knee-length champaigne coloured dress with tuxedo jacket. I had a maitron of honour and he had a best man, that was it. No big hoopla. And they couldn't pay for part of the wedding? Yet when his younger brother got married that same year, everyone in his family flew out to where they got married, dressed fancier at that wedding (I didn't go). I'm getting off topic. If it were me, both of us having already been married, I would invite family members only and have it at a location where not everyone could afford to come. My cousin and his wife got married in Europe last year. I don't think they had any family there. It is all about the bringing together of two people in marriage. People spend too much time thinking about the wedding instead of the marriage. Someone can throw you a party afterwards. Your kids can still be there. You are bringing together two families into one.

Why can't the bride wear white? White symbolizes new beginnings, the purity and innocence of relationships and the like. I think white fits perfectly for weddings. Just because the bride has been married before does not mean that she cannot wear white at the second wedding.

If They Divoiced Couple Wants To Get Another marriage so there may be some more difficult to live together. there may be some problem. In that case they cant live together. marriage is foundation of faith & understanding. so they dont have. & about family in that case all have to c that how much they are right ??????

I think you should expect to have your family be at your wedding no matter what the # it is. IF they love you they should want to celebrate it with you

Well this day and time, it seems many do have the second marriage just as big as the first. Me, I did it backwards, my first wedding was my ex and I at the justice of peace's office. No family no friends. I even wore a pink dress. Then my second one, I wore white, and it was a huge wedding. BTW my oldest child part of my wedding party! I think the traditions are going out the window and people are just doing it however they want to do it. At least in the US anyway.

Oh I believe that is up to them what they decide, no I do not think it should be a quick thing and have no party, again that is up to the bride if she wants to wear white, actually I have been married 2 times and my dress was cream, the second time and yes of course the friends and family should celebrate it is still the joining of two couple starting a new life together.

And even as you walk down the aisle, on the arm of the person giving you away your daughters are bridesmaids and son, the ring bearer. The Catholic church does not support divorce, so in this case it would be a widow. All other churches do not seem to have any objection to a church wedding for the second marriage. By tradition white was used to denote virginity. But in a day when a sixteen year old feels abnormal if she still has her cherry intact wearing white is more a matter of colour preference. As for friends, family and such at the wedding, I would encourage you to invite everyone who you love and loves you, be they family or friends. Now the grandmother is a woman. Grandmothers have had friends, acquaintances and family who have gone through separation and divorce. An open conversation as to how much she means to you together with possibly involving her in some aspect of the wedding may get her willing and active support. All the very best.

hello how r u i hope u r fine thats good for one married because girl not bear second girl and there is union in strength good 1 wife thanks

I think you should have whatever kind of wedding you want. One of my best friends just got remarried. She had a big wedding this time around because the first time she just went to the court house. She wore a white dress and had a big reception and everything. It's totally up to the couple. I don't see why the bride can't wear white. Most people aren't virgins when they get married the first time anyway. And that's the meaning of white. I've seen pregnant women get married in white. :) Your family and friends should support you and celebrate your special day with you. There might be some that won't come, but there were probably some that didn't come the first time around too, right? I noticed you said something about registering in one of your posts. I would definitely reccomend it. I'm assuming you guys are either already living together or each living in a house full of stuff so you won't need all the stuff that a lot of young couples need. Like a toaster, blender, mixer and so on. That makes shopping harder. Registration is definitely a good idea. :)

I just got married for the second time. I wore ivory. We did have a celebration here at the house, just a small, informal ceremony and party afterwards. My family are all still in Australia, and I live in Colorado, but my husband's family showed up to celebrate with us (it's his first marriage). We expected nothing of our guests. We weren't providing a full sit-down meal and certainly weren't expecting gifts, but were pleasantly surprised at the generosity of our friends and family. When I told my family I was remarrying, I told them that I didn't want them to feel obligated to come over, though they were more than welcome if they chose, and that gifts were unnecessary, as they had been through that in my first marriage and it didn't seem fair that they should shell out more money simply because my marriage failed and I was entering another one. I think it's entirely up to the couple and how they want to do it. I know people that have had a huge to-do for their second wedding, but we just wanted something small and private.
