Justice of the peace. Do not use it to celebrate the groom's birthday. It will look like you're trying to give twice as many gifts. Have a fun reception, but keep in mind that this is a second wedding, and maybe tone it down a bit.

Since February 14, 2007 is on a Wed., you may not be able to pull off a big church wedding. Many churches have Wednesday night services or Bible studies so a church and a pastor may not be available. You have slightly over 2 months to plan this wedding and you may not have enough time to plan anything large. Many weddings, especially large ones, generally take a year or more to plan. This is the wedding of you and your fiance. Family members may give their opinions, but ultimately you need to decide what it is you want. Your wedding day is a day to celebrate you as a couple. I know several couples who married on or near one their birthdays and every one of them has regretted that decision. I recommend you make your wedding day a unique day all its own and plan the wedding for later in the year. If your family's suggestions are putting too much pressure and stress on you, step back from them a little, make your wedding plans together and let the family know what they are after they are in place. Since this is a second wedding for both of you, simple is much more elegant than elaborate.

If you didn't have a church wedding before then one would be fine now. Celebrations are in order for lifes milestones, but I was never comfortable with second marriages that look like first ones, you only wear a white gown and veil once, playing the virgin bride with three of your kids in tow is embarrassing, or should be. That's not your problem, I just threw in a pet peeve, but, the same thought applies, have a wedding in a beige or pale dress, have a lovely reception and dance and have a good time, but keep it more as a celebration than a production number from a wedding show.
And if you want the whole nine yards, then please yourself, at least you will be happy, you won't ever make every single other person with an opinion satisfied anyway.

This day and age you can do either one. Since you are having a reception you might like the idea of less stress and just do a small intimate wedding for close family only. But, it really is your choice and while I think you should consider family opinions do not let them make the choice for you or you will go through life saying I wish I had done it my way instead...It is your day you two should decide and set the tone for the day, no one else. I let someone else say what they thought would be best, from the dishes right down to my colors..and I have wished I had done it the way I wanted all along... I would have preferred to elope to a certain destination and then perhaps had a small party later to please the other family members. Remember it is your day and politely remind others of that if you need too. Congratulations and best wishes!

Whatever you do just do it small...... and tasteful. Having a giant white wedding for the second is tacky....
I had a huge fight with a friend who is not longer a friend because I refused to be in her second wedding which was a giant production. I was in the first one and sorry, I didn't feel like doing the whole thing over again because she felt she "deserved" a huge second wedding. I am sure this whole situation has left a bitter taste in my mouth about second weddings but in your case I would just take in to consideration if people have already thrown you a shower and spent money on your first marriage.... and how much time has passed. My friend it was only 3 years before she did the second production.

I have been married twice. I would really try to suggest Justice of the Peace. Then have a big reception after. U could even go to a photography place and have "wedding" pics made. I'm also getting married for the third time in Febuary. Thats how we are going to do it.

holiday weddings would be particularly captivating by way of fact there are a super style of neat subject concerns and decorations you need to use. December weddings would be Christmas-y in case you celebrate it, or you may beautify in white and silver, or use pink velvet, or twinkle lighting fixtures. Valentine weddings could have hearts and pink plant existence and all varieties of neat factors. vast warning, however: There are various issues to think of approximately formerly making plans a holiday wedding ceremony. First, no longer everyone on your customer checklist will p.c. to shuttle for a holiday wedding ceremony in the event that they stay out of city, or perhaps those in-city would be deluged with occasion invites or relatives plans, and could no longer p.c. to function yet another adventure to the calendar. 2nd, wedding ceremony places and distributors (cake human beings, photographers, etc.) are busiest in the time of holiday circumstances, and you have got a annoying time looking a venue on your reception that's no longer already booked. finally, each little thing is pricier on holiday journeys--as an occasion, think of the markup on your plant existence in case you married on Valentine's Day! Reception places are infamous for jacking their costs up in December and around 15 august 1945. i think of the two time of year may well be captivating and do-in a position. yet once you p.c. to bypass with a holiday month, plan forward and be conscious which you will possibly hit some extra bumps in the line including your making plans. stable success!

Not big church wedding. Can have church wedding, though, but small with family and close friends. Have a small family dinner at home.

Why not just have a small wedding with just family and close friends? Since it is a second marriage for both of you, something intimate and really romantic will be very special.
Good luck and congratulations!!!
