When it comes to today’s family, it seems there are no two families alike. The rise in divorce rates has changed the face of the family all over the globe. Don’t let this statistic worry you if you are about to experience the magic that comes with a wedding. Today there are simply more and more people getting married a second time than there ever has been before. In fact it has even been said that as many as 30% of today’s weddings are weddings with couples that have already experienced a previous marriage. For many of these couples, they already know the pain of a marital breakdown, and their second marriage is even more meaningful than their first. Finally they have found the soul mate that they want to spend the rest of their lives with. Does this mean you shouldn’t have a beautiful wedding if it is your second? Of course not. Let’s talk about that today.
Every marriage is a beautiful one, even if those moments of beauty become fleeting. If this is a case where it is a first wedding for one of you, but a second for another, this is even more cause for you to make the celebration as big as you want it to be. For the bride that is getting married again, she wants this wedding to be as unique as the first, as she should. Every single wedding is one where joy should be experienced, no matter how many times he or she has been married before. You can still have the My Wedding of your dreams if you want. In fact, many brides want to make their second wedding even more beautiful than the last, especially if it didn’t go so well last time. Grooms as well that are getting married again know better than anybody how important it is that their bride is happy during every step of the way.
In some cases, couples that are on their second marriage are blending families with children already in the picture. Weddings are a family event, and this is a wonderful way to make the entire family feel like a family unit for the first time, by including children into your second ceremony. Wedding songs that are especially made or sung for the children as they walk down the aisle with you will be another wonderful way to ensure that your children are honored in the same way that you are as you begin this new life.
Whether or not you wear white on this day for the bride to be is a personal choice. If you didn’t get a chance to wear one the first time, or this is your first wedding, you have all the more reason to wear white again. There was a time when this was considered a no-no, but today’s changing family is changing all of the rules on this one. White is a traditional wedding color, and there is no reason you should not wear white if that has always been your dream.
As you get closer to counting down the wedding timeline, if you are getting married for the second time, the only thing you need to remember is the same thing that other brides and grooms are remembering. There are no more rules on this day, as it is all yours, to make as big and as personal as you want it to be. You’ve waited just as long for this day as anybody else, and deserve the wedding of your dreams.
