Older brides - wedding websites - walking down the aisle

I love that idea with your son's!

I love the idea with your sons, and I see nothing wrong with setting up a website. It's essentially just a place where guests can get more info, directions, at. And even rsvp if you choose.

Ok so I'm sure I'm categorized as a mature bride but I'm not using that title as I have same wants and needs as the next person...but maybe with diff interests. It's all about your attitude. My FH is 57 and his 2nd wedding/marriage. It's my first everything. I'm younger than him...in my 40's. As for a wedding website, I'm confused or maybe just surprised by the question. I'm older too. So what. The website can be useful if you want to use it. It can be a convenient tool if used (or created) properly. However, a website isn't mandatory. I created one which includes a message to our friends and family, hotel suggestions, pics taken throughout our relationship with a short caption attached, location info of our wedding/reception and I plan to post pics fr.om the wedding aftewards. I included the website on my invitations. My guests are able to send email messages and even post messages (that I approve). If you don't want one don't create one. There's no age limit on creativity. As for including your family on your wedding, that's a wonderful idea. Enjoy.

Hi!! Congrats on your wedding. We are also second timers...I'm 42 & he is 51. We have a wedding website and my children are part of the wedding-my 16 year old daughter is my maid of honor and my 12 year old son is walking me down the aisle.

I love the idea of you walking down the aisle with your sons! I'm an older bride also (I'll be 60 and he'll be 59) and it's 2nd time around for us, too. We're not having a wedding party, but that is our choice.

We have a small wedding website that has a picture of us, some details about the wedding (venue, date, time, room blocks, etc)

Congratulations!

I'm 51 and I'm making a website, primarily for information sharing...hotels, transportation, etc.

I love the idea of you meeting each son down the aisle

Hey there. We are a 49(me) and 55(him) couple. This is my first wedding and his second. I do have website, two in fact. I thought important to have a central place for everyone to get info on the wedding, our registry, etc. I didn't go into an abundance of detail. My websites are pretty basic. I told how my FH and I met, our backgrounds, names of our wedding party, venue info, accommodations, things to do, and our registry info.

My father is deceased so I am having my son and brother walk me down the aisle. My brother will take me half way down the aisle and my son will take me up to the altar.

Love the idea...And when the officiant ask who gives her away All 3 answer together!!! Love it Congratulation

Thanks so much for all the positive responses! I actually started working on a website and after everyone's feedback I feel good about finishing it! I love the comment "there's no age limit on creativity"! Congrats to everyone!

Well, I'm older than all of you! My ft and I are both 66, and this is the 2nd marriage for each of us. We have a wedding website, here on Wedding Wire, although most of our guests are responding by mail, not using the rsvp function. My two daughters are accompanying me down the aisle, and my fh's son and daughter are walking him. My two granddaughters are the flower girls, and grandson will be the ring bearer. I'm wearing an full length ivory sheath gown. My only concession to my age is that I'm probably not wearing a veil. (Perhaps just a little Russian lace over my forehead and eyes.

I've wondered whether we're doing it too big, but it's been great fun, and I think it will be an enchanting evening!

Oh, all of you are just kids! My oldest couple -- he was 90 and she was 78!

I've had several other couples in their 60s and 70s and several first-time brides over 50!

There's no age limit on love -- go for it!

Fantastic! Congratulations

I'll be 54 on my wedding day, and it's my first. My fiance will be 57 and it will be his third. I started a wedding website but haven't done much with it, simply because I don't know how. Right now, it's not high on my priority list. Good luck to you, and I think it's a wonderful idea that all three of your sons will be walking you down the aisle!

Susie,

I think it's a great idea. I'm in my fifties and it's my first time, my FH in his sixties has been married before. Because of being older I'm not interested in typical traditions, would love to hear from other brides with opinions and ideas. Secondly I love the idea of your sons walking you down the aisle.

Congratulations!!

I am a 60 year old bride, my son and daughter are walking me down the isle and then serving as a groomsman and bridesmaid. My nieces and nephews are bridesmaids and groomsmen. I din't do a web page, but my brother age 70 is getting married and they did a very nice web page. It stated how they met and the things they have in common. So go for it!!

This seems very complicated. You could have two of them enter from the side, to stand at the altar, as groom and groomsmen usually do, rather than be in a procession. And have one of them walk you. And as part of your ceremony, before vows, after officiant does the intro, have the other two each say a few words. One saying how happy they are that the two of you found each other, and welcoming the groom to the family. The other, something on how you will have many happy years together. Unless you are having a very long religious service, the actual ceremony is extremely short if no one sings, speaks, or does a reading, over and done in 15-20 minutes including walking in and out. So instead of splitting the duty of escorting you, like a relay race, maybe one escort and 2 saying something.

Love this idea! I’m 52 and feel uncomfortable walking down the aisle myself. I’m going to use your idea with my kids and my fiancé’s son at the end. Thank you for the post!
