My husband and I want to have a formal wedding on our five year annivsary When we got married originally in 2001 we were married by a Justice of the Piece with about a four days notice. Our parent were present, but nobody even knew we were married for about two months. I was wondering if I could get some suggetions for do's and don'ts for the formal wedding?

This depends on your interpretatioin of the word formal. Does this mean it will be a church wedding? Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

We are actually want to have a garden ceremony. Maybe the word formal was not the right word; we want to have bridesmaids, groomsmen, a reception, and everything a person getting married for the first time gets. We aren't really set on the before wedding parties we just want to have the wedding day of our dreams.

OK, let me rephrase this. Will this be a religious or civil ceremony? Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

Here is how I would handle it. Instead of calling it a wedding I would invite the guests to a celebration of your fifth anniversary and blessing of your marriage. As your original wedding was not a religious ceremony is very appropriate to have the marriage blessed and as you are doing it on a key anniversary a party can be appropriate.
Doing it in this way will avoid confusion as to what you are doing and allow you to have the special day you did not have five years ago. Best wishes to you and let me know how it turns out. God Bless, Bob Deacon Bob Tousey

Thank you for your suggetion. We were going to have our invitations say something to the effect of being invited to witness a blessing and ceremony of our marriage.
