How should I get married?

Question

Both my fiance and I are divorced. We both have children. We dont want anything too big but we do want our very closet family and friends to be there. We really want to do something different.

Answer 1

I agree with the first person.

Answer 2

I know that this is only what we did, but it might give you some ideas- My husband is divorced, but I had never been married; he told me he wanted me to have the white dress etc....
His two children were flower-girl and ring bearer(their clothing was smaller version of the bridal party's), we had 75 people (all good rellies) and our invitation said casual/jeans (it was June, which is cold weather here) We were traditionally married by a minister---but it was in my husband's family shearing shed, the caterers had to bring everything out to our farm but refrigeration wasn't a problem because of the cold! My bridesmaids wore cream bootleg jeans, with calf length dark suede jackets and blue shirts, and their own boots- same for the fellas, only their jackets were bomber style, but same colour suede- I had my white satin dress....with an old fashioned cream cashmere shawl for the ceremony, then a matching suede jacket for the reception- which was also in the shed- the whole day cost about $15,000, which included cake, bonbonniere, centrepieces, clothing for bridal party (and bride), flowers, music....EVERYTHING... We included the children because of they are really the centrepiece of our relationship (we've added two more) . I had to become an instant mum, which was fine by me, but I didn't want them to feel that the day was all about me and my husband- they were just as much part of it as we were- the flower girl (daughter) carried my husbands ring and the ring bearer (son) carried my ring....It was a wonderful, RELAXED day, and it didn't feel like it should have been any other way. When there is divorce in the past, sometimes its hard to figure out an individual way to carry on in the future, without the memories of what went on before! But all the very best, and don't be afraid to give your day a stamp of individuality!!!!!

If you can afford it, a destination wedding would be great for you. Pick an exotic local, like the Caribbean. Have just your closet family and maybe close friends and your children. The wedding will also double as a honeymoon for you and your new husband and a vacation for your children. Destination weddings are very intimate

Answer 5

have a nice ceremony outside somewhere or at maybe a resort that is cheap but not too cheap and only invite your closest family and friends and just pay more attention to the family and being together part of a wedding instead of all the materialistic stuff

Answer 6

I think a nice quiet intimate ceremony is the best idea! Just invite the people closest to you and make it special for yourselves as well as the children.

Good Luck

Answer 7

do it at a little bed & breakfast with your closest family & friends or go to a resort in the caribbean with your closest family & friends. do you have a nice park nearby or does any of your family have a nice backyard? if so rent a tent and just invite your nearest and dearest!
