GETTING MARRIED AGAIN


There are over 500,000 weddings in North America each year.





by Joyce Barslow
Each wedding is different. They include first time, interfaith, special event and second time marriages.

If you are getting married again or if you have children or step-children who are participating in the wedding this information is for you.

You may be divorced or a widow/widower or a common-law couple who decides to officially tie the knot. Whichever, second marriages are on the rise. In general all the things you went through in planning your first wedding are the same - but you probably will have be more "hands on" in planning and budgeting your second wedding.

If you are having written invitations, you'll want to word them appropriately to reflect your present situation. You will be choosing your dress, deciding who is going to escort you down the aisle [it could be your father, your groom, your son, a family member or friend] and doing your own planning for a reception or party. Be sure to check the Bride's Planning Guide on the Main Menu of our website to start planning and budgeting your Celebration.

If either you or your groom have children, this special occasion is usually an emotional one for them. They might be part of your wedding party or, if you have all been living together before you are married, the event will probably be a family celebrating a special day.

Step-children Participating in the Wedding
Depending on the age of the children and the emotional situation they have been through with their parents, step-children can be a blessing or they can make your wedding plans miserable. Small children don't seem to have as much trouble adjusting to second-time marriages; teenagers do. The competition for attention is very real. If problems arise before the marriage, then they'll be there (and probably worse) after your marriage. To help ease situations, there are step-family support groups and family therapists.

As in every wedding, each child is different. If your step-children are part of your wedding party it is because you feel it is important to them and your new family. Your Best Man will be helpful as well as your Maid of Honor in case emotions run high on your wedding day. Remember, you can't force children to be part of a celebration; but you can't just leave them out, either. Use care - talk first - and be prepared for anything.
Fashion ideas for Getting Married Again


ACTRESS HELEN MIRREN FASHION STYLE
At the 2008 Oscars, actress Helen Mirren, an ageless actress, bottom left, wore an ultra elegant in a vibrant red custom-made Georges Chakra satin gown, embellished with Swarovski crystal sleeves. At the 2007 Oscars, top left and middle, she wore a Christian Lacroix gown in ivory, gold, and Champagne colored lace bodice with a deep neckline. At the 2007 Cannes Film Festival she wore a v-neck, empire waist yellow chiffon gown, top right.

Before Queen Victoria was married in 1840 and chose white for her wedding dress, brides wore any color they wanted. If you are getting married in a place of worship you should ask if they have any color attire guidelines ... otherwise, whether you want to wear a gown, dress, suit or pantsuit it is up to you. So is the color.
