We never had a "real" wedding, just a preacher, us, and two witnesses. One of us has been married and divorced since we divorced. Now we are talking about getting married again and I want a "real" wedding this time! He agrees but he's concerned about the "rules" for such an event.
(Any bashing and I WILL report you! I don't want to hear about the evils of divorce or any crap like that, just answer my question please!)

Okay, maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not talking about marriage license. I'm talking about announcing the engagement/wedding, having our kids participate in the wedding.....
Not wondering if it will work out or not like someone said....Maybe the better question would have been "Has anyone here re-married their ex?"

I discussed this with a friend of mine who remarried his original wife. Asked him about any rules and he said there is only one rule and that rule says there are no rules. You are both going into it with your eyes wide open; good luck and have a happy life.

It is unclear in your question whether you were divorced in the civil court or through religion proceedings. If you were divorced by civil courts in the eye of your church you still might be married to each other, you were committing an adultery by living with other person then your husband (as per church view). In such case religious ceremony maybe limited to the renewal of the marital vows and with all pomp and reception after it like a real wedding, but you have to get married in the civil ceremony preferably before the religious one.

Well, the bottom line is that there are no "rules" as far as weddings go anymore - if you've been living together for 10 years and have 3 kids and want a great big church wedding, then go for it. Ettiquette would dictate that, since you were both previously married that you keep it simple, so it will just come down to how much you care if people look down your nose at you! :-)

Why would you want to remarry the same person that you were married to and ended up divorcing? How do you know that it will work this time seeming it didnt before? Little confused, but to answer you question: How long has it been would probably be the biggest question, I know where I live in WI, after a divorce you have to wait 6 months to get remarried. Just call your county clerk or something and they will be able to direct you or answer you question.

There are no real rules i would think of. You would treat it as a second (or third) marriage, so you would probably wear something other than White as the bride. But other than that, you could have a regular wedding.
I wish you the best and hope it's better than ever.

If you want a real wedding, who cares what the rules are? Those that would care about such things don't really matter, and those that don't really care are your true friends. If that's what you want to do, then do it, instead of always wishing later in life that you had.

Even if you were not married at a "real" wedding, you got a divorce. So it legally proves that you were married earlier, and now eligible singles. There is no law that prevents you from remarrying. Wish you a happy married life...

you have to follow the rules and regulations, apply for license, blood test etc, that you did when you first married. that is, assuming you are still in the same state. there is one special rule. must be legally divorced. if either one of you are still married, that is called polygamy.

The rules are the same as if you get married to a new guy. Just do what you want to do.
