Hi everyone, this is my first, but probably not the last post I will make! My question: is it proper to wear a veil even though it's my first wedding and his second? His 1st was in a courthouse, he didn't have a reception - no parties, and no fanfare at all. He tells me he feels like he was never married, & the 1st ended after 6 months. Should we treat it as a first? I want it to be special for us.
2nd question: He is from another country & came to the US to be married here. His family was never involved. All of my family is in the US. Logistically/financially its impossible to bring both families together - and either family will feel left out. Where should it take place?
Thanks!

Re: [kpcantu] my fist wedding, his second - do I wear a veil?
[In reply to]
Since this is your first marriage and wedding ceremony you can absolutely wear a wedding veil. Match the style of veil to the formality of your wedding and dress. You should have all of the perks of the first time wedding, especially since your groom did not have any pof the traditional pre-wedding parties like a shower or a reception after the ceremony. This means that you rae free to invite any of his family and friends to a shower (if someone is hosting one for you) or to the reception and the guest should not be put off or offended.
Traditionally, weddings have taken place where the bride lives but with couples marrying later, after they have left the home of their parents, it has become increasingly more popular for the wedding to take place where the couple lives or really at any location the couple chooses.
Whichever destination you choose, perhaps you can videotape the ceremony and reception for the family who cannot make the trip. Speak to a professional videographer since he/she may have some suggestions about providing the service "live" to your family.
