I have finally found my soulmate, the man of my dreams. We have both been married before and neither of us had a wedding, both going to the courthouse. I would love my father to walk me down the isle. It doesnt really have to be a big wedding,but a small one with our family and friends. So i guess my question is, "Is it wrong to want a wedding, the bride to wear white, and the wedding traditionals? Even though this isnt the first wedding?

Have that wedding I was married before and both times had weddings. My second time it was my husbands first wedding so he wanted it big as he comes from scicillian family and I wore a big white wedding dress, my dad walked me down the isle and my daughter was the flower girl. It is your day and you should enjoy it. Been married 18 years and I still love to look at my wedding pictures and I am glad I decided to wear that beautiful white dress. Good Luck

Believe me, people WILL talk if you wear a traditional white wedding gown. Choose an ivory or off white simple but elegant long or short gown and do NOT wear a veil!
You can have a lovely wedding. Just don't do things that will embarrass you in the long run! Good luck and many happy years together!

Have your wedding.
This is your soul mate and you both deserve a nice wedding. Just remember that the wedding is a ceremony to officiate your lives together, not a party to show off. I know too many women that put so much focus and money into the wedding that it really shows that the relationship doesn't mean much.
Good luck and congratulations!

it is absolutely not "wrong"...in fact, its right. you should contact your priest (or whatever your religion calls him) and talk to him. i believe the catholic church would make you annul the prior marriages before acknowledging your new marriage. i am not sure the practices for other religions. as far as the white dress and the traditional wedding---GO FOR IT. maybe theres a reason both of you had civil ceremonies...maybe it was Gods way of letting you know it wasnt right to begin with. i would take the first step of talking with your preist and then go from there. i am really happy your father will have the opportunity to walk his little girl down the aisle---i think EVERY dad looks forward to that day! congratulations on finding Mr. Right and all the best with your wedding!

Definitely...Weddings can be expensive, and can be both fun and stressful at the same time. I got married again, AND two kids later and I wore a white gown! LOL
It doesn't matter what others think! You should have the wedding that you both want and deserve!
Do what is right for the two of you!
Congrats!!! =)

Hi and congratulations!
Most certainly you should! It doesn't matter that you have been married before, although I do agree with you to keep it to family and friends. I would do the same. Your father never got the opportunity to walk you down the aisle, I'm sure he will be honored to do so this time.
I hope you have a beautiful wedding!

If you want to have a wedding, have a wedding! Who cares what the "traditions" are? It's your love, you and your soulmate figure out what you want and then go for it!

You are getting married. You deserve a wedding. Especially if you never got one. People do it all the time, why judge it on something silly? As to wearing white, hwo many first-time brides do you know that actually were virgins? Go for it. Wear white. Go all out! It's your day!

Of course you should have a wedding! It doesn't have to be a huge formal affair. One of my favorite weddings (mine) was in the back yard with family and friends, a non-denominational minister, lots of kids, dogs, a big meat and cheese platter, and a keg of beer. It was his third, and my third. I wore a matching long skirt and blouse, hubby wore jeans and a nice shirt with bolo tie and cowboy boots (pretty typical here in WY). Our 4 daughters (combined) stood up with us, and it was all just wonderful. And yes, my dad walked me down the "aisle". That was 7 years ago. Go for it, and congratulations!

You should definitely have a wedding if you and the groom want to have one and it sounds like you do.
It's a misconception that white should not be worn by the bride unless she's a virgin: White symbolizes the solemnity of the occasion, not virginity.
