Second Time Brides/grooms?

I'm not getting married for the second time, but I will suggest for a registry you could use Traveler's Joy to help pay for your honeymoon.

I'm having my dad walk me again. But instead of having the deacon ask "who gives this woman...", he will ask my parents "Do you not only approve of your daughter's new marriage, but loving accept (fiance's name) as your own son?" He'll then ask my fiance's mom the same about me.

I always feel awkward about registries. Even with my first marriage. But I know it's a bigger pain for people to have to figure out what to buy. I don't expect gifts, but I know I would never go to a wedding without a gift. My family and friends are the same, so I need to get over it and have a registry. I made our registry all gifts $50 and under. The gifts are traveling, hiking, camping etc. items that we can use to enjoy our marriage together. The registry is really reflective of who we are a couple. That makes it feel special.

I recently got married for the second time and it was the first marriage for my husband. Since my dad walked me the first time I decided to have my son walk me down this time and my daughter was my MOH. I felt it was more important to include my kids at this point in my life. I don’t think there are any rules so do whatever makes you happy!

This is the 2nd marriage for the both of us. We were both married for 20 years. I got married at the courthouse...I always felt shafted because most girls dream of a wedding. So, no one was there but my 3 year old son. No pictures to hang on the wall, no gifts to help us to start off our new life, etc. I take the blame because he wanted to do it earlier than we had originally planned and I went with it. Lol. It was a 20 year marriage and 3 gorgeous kids. My new husband (we got married Valentines Day) was married 22 years & had a disaster of a wedding. Here we are 44 yrs old & 49 yrs old & over the moon in love. We only live once & I wanted to experience a wedding this time. We are going to have a ceremony with my step-dad walking me down the aisle. No bridal party. 100-125 guest. My sweet friend is making me a gorgeous cake as a gift & my step brother is doing the videography as a gift and so is our photographer. I am very excited for the pictures & the special moments we will create. I want this to be a celebration of our love and new life together. We did register because we had people ask us to that couldn't attend the wedding but wanted to give us a gift. We don't expect anything at all. So from what I have read on here about weddings, most rules are out the window these days. Like I said, we only live once & I want to have this experience with the man I love & adore.

Hi. This is my second time getting married, and my feince's. We will look at first a very small JP wedding, then a larger church wedding later. Since both my parents are dead, I will simply walk down the aisle myself.

I'm so glad you're getting the chance to enjoy the whole process (and a honeymoon!) with your "charm" husband!

Oh man, I'm the exact opposite when it comes to duplicating things. There are so many things that I wish I had "saved" for this wedding because I loved them so much the first time around, but I wouldn't feel right planning them again. We had a reading at my first wedding called, "Falling in Love is Like Owning a Dog," and I cannot think of a better reading for my FH and I....but I know he'd be so hurt if he found out that I also used it at my first wedding, so it's out.

My second and FH's first. I had a JP wedding when I was really young and regretted it. My dad never walked me down the aisle and both my sisters were there but just there, not in the role of BM's. Dad will definitely walk me this time, and sisters will both be Maids of Honor because why not. I can't choose and I don't want to choose. Low key destination wedding ceremony and we take everyone out to lunch and foot the bill afterward!

I am a divorcee and my FH is a widower, and we are having a midsized wedding (@50 guests, mostly family and closest friends) at a historical home on a river in our area - ceremony and reception both onsite. For a gift registry we picked three charities that guests can contribute to in our honor (all are special to us). Our vibe is cocktail party that happens to start with a wedding ceremony. We are also having a DJ with dancing. I have two adult sons who will walk me down the aisle and my lifelong best friend is my MOH. The Best Man is a close friend of my FH. My dress is white, floor length, no veil. Groom is wearing an opened collar short, as are my sons and Best Man.

The major budget items are venue and food.

This is also my second time going down the aisle! I'm planning to walk myself down the aisle. My dad and I don't have the best relationship and he has super strong feelings about people not getting divorced which were previously unknown to me. Since he walked me down the first time and we did the father/daughter dance then, I'm skipping both of those items this time around.


We're putting together a small registry with random stuff we think would be fun to have, but would never buy ourselves (hello, champagne saber!) and also setting up a honeymoon fund. Even though it's second marriages for both of us, this is a new marriage and if people want to celebrate it, who are we to stop them?
