My Fiance and I are planning a our wedding (both divorced with small children). We are both Catholic and understand that we cannot get remarried in the church without an annulment. Our plan is to exchange vows at an up scale resturaunt and dinner to follow. How do I walk in? Is it improper to let my Husband to be greet the guests and I am unseen until the vows or should I be there as well and just have the Priest announce when we are ready. Please help what is the proper thing for a 2nd wedding not at a church?
One great beauty about second weddings is that you have more options. Not many expect a traditional wedding, so you have choices. You can walk out when the wedding ceremony is about to begin, or you can be greeting your guests with your fiance. A nice option would be for both you and your fiance to be out of sight until the music plays, or your priest announces that we will begin, and both of you come out 'in grand style' for your ceremony.
