Anybody getting married for the second(or more) time?

I have been married before but no wedding, we just went to the courthouse, so this is all new to me and FH has never been married so it will be new to him also. I too had a very rough previous marriage and am not nervous at all to finally marry the man of my dreams. Only 10 more days to wait 'til that dream will come true.

Wow thats me also, i got married when i was 16 because i had 1 kid and another on the way with him. he was 19 or 20 when we got married so we only did it to keep him out of jail. no wedding just court house and not a single family member there to talk me out of it! This time it for love! I am only 10 days away from " I DO" also and not a single bit nervouse either!

This will be my 3rd and last....both of my others were simple and not really every girls dream, so this is my 1st true wedding were we will do all of the traditional things like 1st dance ect...Im super excited!!

I think I was both more and less nervous this time around. The first time around, I was more worried about how I was going to manage the mechanics of the wedding, given that I was working full time and going to law school 3/4 time. However, I felt complete confidence that I would stay married for life. After all, I had already known him for 7 years before we got married. And I knew that nothing short of abuse would lead me to end the marriage.

This time around, I had lots of fun with the mechanics of the wedding, and didn't really worry about it. However, it was a lot harder to trust that the marriage would last, given that I'd already seen that a "perfect" marriage could end if the other party wasn't committed to it. In some ways, I was jealous of those who got married very young, or who married abusive spouses, etc., because at least there was something concrete they could do differently this time around.

@softail99 Yeah the whole "wedding" thing is new to us as well. Which I'm glad so it's something we can experience together since FH has never been married before. congrats on you and aimee w. on upcoming nuptials.

I was married once before, it was a horrible marriage that lasted way too long!@ Hattie J, it sounds like we were married to the same jerk! I feel so lucky to have a second chance at happiness! This is my FH first marriage.

This is my second chance at love.. I was married a month after graduation and it lasted 11 months.. The verbal abuse and lack of trust finally drove me over the edge. After the divorce I moved out of state TWICE to get away from him but I always ended up coming back... So after a total of 4 years in that on and off relationship and now that its finally over I have finally let my ex husband go and I know that the real reason God always brought me back here was to meet the amazing man that I am engaged to now=)

My third marriage.

First was when I was 18 and thought I knew it all- high school sweetheart, etc. I wanted to go to the same school and him, and I knoew my parents wouldn't be supportive...Got married over Spring Break, had it annulled by graduation...

Second- lasted 6 years. Good man, but I was 20 and again, didn't know what I wanted out of life. Great man, great father and still a good friend. But were a horrible match. However, I don't regret it because I learned who I was and what I wanted out of life.

This time- I know who I am. I know what I want out of life and in a partner. I finally found the person who completes me and puts up with my crap.

2nd marriage for both of us. I'm much older and wiser..well maybe just older! He is truly my best friend and i think that makes all the difference for us!

2nd marriage but 1st wedding. I was married for 11 years before and never thought I'd do it again. To be cliche, I think it's true that love finds you when you least expect it.

My 2nd marriage, his first. I am less nervous in some ways, because I know him so well. More nervous in other ways- I know how much work it is and how much of an adjustment the whole living together thing can be- and add 3 boys and an ex-husband to the mix, and we have a lot to work through.

This is my second as well I dont really think about being nervous. Im not sure what people are asking you if your nervous about the wedding the marriage? I would hope that im making a wiser choice this time around because ive been though hell and back. I married two weeks out of high school married for 6 years but we grew up and apart now at 30 i feel like i know who i am and who i will be and what i want in life. at 18 i didnt know these things. So im not nervous about anything. Im stressed about pulling everything together but nervous no

Jennifer, this is my FH's first wedding too and he's getting my 3 girls along with me. He's adjusting better than most men would and my girls all love him.

Thank you Hattie and I hope you are having a wonderful planning experience and believe me your wedding will be here before you know it, cause this past year has flew by for us.

@ wicked lizzie some people ask if I'm nervous about getting married because I have a previously failed marriage. But that was a completely different circumstance than this time. I was 19 and looking for an escape. Some other people that forget or are not aware that I was married before ask if I am ready to get married or feel they need to tell me that marriage is hard. Of course marriage is hard, but I have been through too much to let my experience with my ex determine whether I should get remarried.

2nd wedding/marriage for DH.... and First marriage for me..... however we've been married for a while so first WEDDING for me too, the original marriage was at the CH and not fun at all...... 2 months postpartum with twins... i was BLAH, lol

I'm with ya girl! This is my 2nd marriage...And while this is my first wedding, I didn't cry when I went to get a wedding dress. I'm not nervous about anything...I didn't get all teary eyed about anything. Haha. Just excited to married to an amazing man.

My 2nd...His 1st

I was also a victim of the "i'm 19 and know it all" syndrome.

And in all honesty, I have felt a sense of embarrassment throughout this whole process. ALOT of the people that attended my 1st wedding will also be at my 2nd wedding. It's something I struggle with, but keep my mouth shut about.

Guilty of the "I will love him forever 19 yr. old fever" No wedding though just courthouse. This is my first wedding. It is also his second marriage, but first wedding. We are really enjoying the process

This is his 3rd and my 2nd. Like you my ex-husband was physically & verbally abusive to me as well. We had a full blown out wedding with about 200 folk. It lasted 3 years too long.

I never thought in a million years I would be here again, about to walk down the isle. We've enjoyed this entire process together. We can't believe we actually found true love again.
