I'm excited to be getting married again. The actual being married part. I have no desire to have a wedding. He wants a wedding. For those who are married for the second time, what did you do?
I would love just to have a big party and no wedding. He wants to do something to include the kids. I kinda agree with that. When my ex remarried (yes, he married a woman. No, I don't know if she knows. LOL. Everyone asks those two questions) Ruth was devistated that they didn't include her. So the fact that he wants to include her because he's thinking about her heart, melts mine. ♡
So, even knowing that i still don't want big wedding!

I'm not sure what I would do. What about a small family only ceremony and then a big party??
Congrats!

We went to a wedding where the bride and the groom both had their own kids. The kids stood up with them as their wedding party. Then the groom read a letter than he'd written to her kids and then the bride read a letter to his kids. It was very sweet.

I'd do a small ceremony on the beach with the kids and then a big party later. I love that he wants to include the kids!

First of all, congratulations!
Secondly, I think it would be nice to have a small ceremony with the kids as attendants followed by a nice reception where more family and friends are invited. That's what a couple of my cousins did when they got married for a second time (not to each other, btw).

Congrats!
I bet he wants the whole world to heard him say the vows to you which is why he wants a wedding ceremony:)
I have heard of the kids being in the wedding party and the person "marrying" into the family say a type of vow to the kids. I loved this idea and if I were ever need to get remarried would so do this as the person would being marrying me and the kids.

Congrats! I just saw on one of those wedding tv shows that a blended family was included in the ceremony. The did a "blending of the sands" ceremony. The pastor said some words in the way of "each of us is different on our own, but when we come together we become a family. " (or something of that sort.) They each poured a glass of sand into a bigger container,. I thought it was cute, you could put your own spin on it too. I found this: Blending of the sands ceremony |

We did a small ceremony, family and a few friends. I like the blending of the sand ceremony. It's a lovely sentiment. Real life in the blender, well it's a ride  |

A small ceremony, then a large reception... that is a neat idea about the blending.

My 2nd DH 1st. my best half was the one who wanted to elope. I chose not to but also I did not ask my parents for any help whatsoever as I didn't feel right to. We got married in my grandfathers church so there was no charge there. We also got married at Christmas so we wouldn't have to decorate the church. I did all the food myself and for our cake we had cheesecake from the Wal Mart frozen food section. And if the people didn't like it tough luck was all I had to say. |

I like cheesecake much better than traditional wedding cake. I would've been a happy girl at your wedding reception. |

Congratulations lovely. ( I hope I posted that on your fb page too, and not just posted it in my head)
I think I'd love to keep it to "family" only if I ever get blessed to marry again (so not looking ATM ). Love the blended sands idea - it is blending two families together, even if a ride! ... Maybe a bring and share meal after?!
