Love is lovelier the second time
around... so the saying goes. It is always a special joy to
find someone special but after you've become a statistic, it
is especially thrilling. Let's face it, finding someone who
can handle the emotional baggage that comes from being a
divorcee, and in some cases possibly becoming an instant
parent, is not easy. For those who have chosen to take the plunge a second time
here are some advantages that you may not have realized you
have:
- You do not have to wear an
elaborate gown to your wedding. You can now wear a simpler
gown without all the flounces and gewgaws used for young
girls' nuptials.
- You are not expected to
wear white as you walk down the aisle. You can get married
in almost any color you want. Of course, there is a
preference for the pale shades (getting married in black is
still discouraged). Still, no one will look askance if you
decide to get married in champagne colored silk or a
gorgeous bronze gown that you adored on sight.
- You are not expected to
have a big elaborate wedding. You already had the big bash
the first time around. Since you are paying for this
yourselves, you can indulge in just having an intimate
wedding. As we all know, in the reality of life, it is
better to have your nearest and dearest present rather than
all the people that you "must have present" but whose name
you can't remember in just five years.
Of course, do keep in mind
that while it is your second nuptials, it may be your fiance/e's
first wedding. You may want to give them the lead since they
may have wedding dream plans of their own (just as long as
you are clear on the budget). You can be the guide since
you've done this before and just help to make your event
even more special.
