Second Marriage

My cousin did her second wedding as a destination wedding. she didnt want a wedding at all but her husband has never been married so she did everything though a resort!

My moms going on her 3rd this august lol. From spending no joke over 12 hours straight talking to her she said that her first one was obligation,second one was to make sure I had a positive influence, But now its for love. She vowed to never get married again but things changed. Her first one was super traditional. Her second was a party in the hall where they both wore a hot pink suit and then was married ontop of the rockies by her best friend. Now its a quiet wedding filled with only those who come with positive energy and love. Its all happening in the town hall and is very spiritual. It speaks to them as individuals and as a couple on a very deep level. Its bring your own booze, im taking the pictures and doing music, there will be some food,and she gets to not be afraid for once of someone judging her. The best advice I have for you is dont worry about trends. Do what makes you two happy. If its old fashioned or modern it doesnt matter. Its about you two finding love and becoming one. My wedding is 25 people or less,we doing a lunch reception and having build your own tacos,no booze,my dress is going to probably be the same one my moms wearing which is her friends dress,part of the decor will probably be from my moms wedding too,My MOH is wearing a dress from her closet,and the dress code is just sunday best. We arnt even exchanging rings (we are getting tattoos) but instead doing a tree planting ceremony. there are no rules even if society tries to say there is.

I'm getting married for the second time. My first wedding was a backyard bbq to get it out of the way. Neither of us really wanted to get married when we did. Having children and pressure from parents we did the cheapest we could. I never went dress shopping, I never had the big day, I didn't pick or make centerpieces. This time in having the wedding of my dreams. A day that is just for us. I'm not just going to do whatever to get it over with. You can do whatever you want. That is the best part about planning your wedding. By the second you know what you don't want for sure....

There are come couples having a second wedding and trends are just what your looking into and budget just as you did in your first wedding.

TIPS:

rentals vs. purchase saves on keeping after and returning for a lower price. Edible favours to let your guests enjoy their cookie, chocolates or candies during the reception or take it home.

Simplicity if you want to go this time around can create a different theme and setting for your guests to enjoy their time. Let this day be about you and your FH.

I'm also getting married for the first time, and 24, but one thing I've noticed since my parents got married 31 years ago is that there are very little "rules" - you don't have to wear white, have a wedding party, get a tiered cake, have all the specialty dances, etc! You can definitely still do those things, but only if your FH and you want to! It's become more acceptable to have the wedding you and your FH want, not the one everyone wants you to have!

This is my second wedding - and my advice is to do exactly what you and your FH want to do! I'd say the trends now are that the rules that used to exist don't really apply if you don't want them to, whether it's your first wedding or not. If you like traditions, go ahead and use them, and if there are some that don't work for you, there's no obligation! We are making our wedding something that is exactly what we want, and I'm so excited!

Planning my second wedding. First was 20 years ago.
The thing I’ve noticed this time around is that I care a lot less about doing what others want and am doing more of what my fiancé and I want.
There were also things from my first wedding that I knew I would do differently the second time around (like hiring a professional photographer instead of saving money and going with a student).
Enjoy the process and do what your heart desires!

Although I am 21yrs old and getting married for the first time; I have seen a few girls around here that are either on marriage #2 or they are/have gotten married later in life.

There are girls (and guys) on here from all walks of life and all at different stages of life (and wedding planning)!

My best advice is to trust in this website/app (I use the desktop website) and know that we truly are a community and there are no silly questions!! We love giving opinions, giving advice, and helping each other as best we can

Congrats on the engagement and welcome to the WeddingWire Community!
