Do Over Dos and Don'ts: Wedding Wisdom for the Remarried


A second marriage can also be even more special than the first. Have fun with the planning process, keep it simple and focus on what makes you happy. And most importantly, remember that this day is about you and the love you have for each other. Cheers to a happy ever after!

If you're reading this, chances are you've been there, done that, and have the t-shirt to prove it. The beauty of a second marriage is that you come in with a deeper appreciation for love and companionship. You know what you want and what you don't, and you're more confident and self-assured. This can make the wedding planning process much more relaxed and enjoyable.

When it comes to planning your second wedding, it's important to focus on what makes the two of you happy. Forget about traditional wedding expectations and do what you want to do!

  • Consider having a smaller, more intimate ceremony
  • Create an experience that only includes the best traditions you want to remember
  • Rewrite your past with a blow out celebration of where you are in life now and all your achievements to date
  • Plan a destination wedding to start your new life together.
  • Include your loved ones. If you have children from previous relationships, make sure they feel special and included in the wedding preparations.

Is one of you a second timer but it's the first time for the other? Make it special! When one spouse is tying the knot for the second time, while the other is doing it for the first, communication is key. Be open and understanding of each other's experiences and expectations. Be considerate of the first-time spouse's apprehensions and insecurities, and work together to create a wedding that represents the blending of your lives and families.

When it comes to your invitation wording, have fun with it! Consider saying something like: "Here we go again, but this time forever," or "Love knows no limits, and we're tying the knot once again." You can even add a touch of humor with, "Second time's the charm, and we're ready to say 'I do.'" The invitation wording for your second wedding can be as traditional or creative as you like. "Together with their families," is a classic option if you want to include your blended family, but if you're feeling more playful, consider something like, "Join us as we do it all over again and make it even better!"

Your wedding vows are a chance to personalize your day and reflect your journey. For your second marriage, consider writing your own vows or incorporating elements that reflect your history and growth as a couple. Your second wedding vows should reflect the love and commitment you have for each other no matter how many times you may have married in the past. Consider saying something like: "I promise to love, cherish, and support you" or "I vow to be your partner, your confidante, and your best friend, for the rest of our lives."

If you have children from previous relationships, consider including them in your vows and making them feel part of this new chapter. Make a beautiful declaration like: "I vow to love your children as my own, and to always be there for them, just as I promise to always be there for you." It's important to include you family and the people who make you you in your wedding, whether that's part of your wedding party or your vows. 

 

How to make your second wedding extra special

 

Second weddings are extra special, as they signify not only a new commitment, but also a newfound hope and chance at happiness. And, if you're like most second-timers, you've learned a thing or two from your past experiences, making this time around even sweeter.

When it comes to planning a second wedding, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind. First, think about the size and formality of the event. About 50% of second weddings tend to be more low-key and intimate affairs, so don't feel pressured to go all-out if that's not your style. If it's the second marriage for one spouse but the first for the other, it's important to have open communication and consider each other's feelings when making decisions.

As for your guests, second wedding etiquette is simple. They should relish it just like any other wedding and express best wishes and gifts to celebrate the happy couple. For wedding gifts,  something sentimental that celebrates the love story are ideal.

Now, onto the big question - will God bless a second marriage? Absolutely! Love is love, and it's never too late for a second chance. Just remember, in any relationship, it's important to put your partner first and work to protect each other from the past.

Second Marriages: Tips and Tricks for a Long-Lasting Relationship

 

Getting married for the second time can feel intimidating. There are so many things to consider, from blending families to starting fresh with a new partner. But don't let the challenges keep you from finding happiness. With a little effort, you can make your second marriage just as strong (if not stronger!) than your first.

Here are six tips and tricks to help you build a long-lasting relationship with your second spouse:

  1. Start with a strong foundation. Before you say "I do" again, make sure you and your partner are on the same page. This means discussing your expectations, goals, and values. Building a strong foundation of mutual understanding and respect will make all the difference in your relationship.

  2. Keep the romance alive. No matter how long you've been together, it's important to make time for romance. Whether it's a weekly date night or spontaneous gestures, keeping the spark alive is crucial to a happy relationship.

  3. Don't compare your second spouse to your first. Your second marriage is a new chapter, so try not to compare your current spouse to your ex. This will only lead to resentment and negativity. Instead, focus on the positive qualities your new spouse brings to your life.

  4. Marry your best friend. It may sound cheesy, but marrying your best friend is one of the best things you can do for your relationship. When you marry someone you love and trust, it makes the ups and downs of life a little easier to handle.

  5. Protect each other from the past. Whether it's an ex-spouse or past traumas, it's important to be there for each other and help each other heal. By working together to overcome these obstacles, you'll create a stronger bond and become an even more unstoppable team.

  6. Make your new spouse the center of your relationship. Your second marriage is a chance to start fresh and make your new spouse the center of your life. This means putting in the effort to make them feel loved and appreciated every day.

By focusing on the positive and making your partner the center of your life, you can build a long-lasting relationship that will withstand the test of time. So, take a deep breath, let go of the past, and embrace this new chapter in your life with open arms!
