Your Second WeddingNeal McFarlane “ Your Wedding DJ “

You are planning your second wedding and are not sure about etiquette and what is oris not acceptable, right? The truth is that the second time around can be just as

memorable and special as the first. Here are some different tips to help you makeyour second wedding a day to remember.

When planning for your second wedding use heartfelt, common sense beforeannouncing your new engagement. Some couples who have previously been marriedmay have children and previous family members who need to be informed personally

of your new future. Inform them first before announcing it to the masses.

Also think before registering for gifts at department stores. When registering for yoursecond wedding, think about the things you need, as a couple. You may already have

items that would commonly be bought for first time marriages, such as towels anddishes. Instead think about registering for those things that will help you bring yournew home together, such as new curtains, bedding or items you can use to remodel

the home that you're moving into.

Many years ago, attire for a previously married bride meant absolutely no white. Thatis not the case anymore. When planning your second wedding, if you decide you want

to wear a flowing white gown, it's considered perfectly acceptable. One thing toavoid is a veil, which represents virginity. Instead of a veil, think about adorning yourhead with a crown or tiara or a beautiful new hairstyle. Whichever you choose, keepin mind that although it is a second marriage, you can feel and look just as beautiful as

you did the first time.

When choosing a destination for your second wedding, some couples choose to makeit different from the first by having a small ceremony with a huge reception, invitingfriends and family on a trip with marriage in mind or having a surprise wedding, by

sending invitations out for a birthday party or holiday event and instead beingprepared to get married. You can also just go with a traditional church wedding.

Whichever you choose, make the decision together. After all, you are committingyourselves to each other and both of you should be happy with the decision.

If children are involved from previous marriages, let them know that they also are animportant part of your second wedding. Rather than the ceremony joining a man and

woman together, you will be joining families. Why not include the children in theceremony? Let your son walk you down the aisle to give you away, have your daughterbe an honorary attendant or let the younger children be a miniature bride and groom.The important thing is to make the children feel welcome in this new union, letting

them feel that it is not just a marriage of man and wife, but of the family as a whole.

Although second weddings can be done the same as a first time wedding, let this beyour opportunity to make it different while keeping it sacred. Make it known to

everyone that this is the man you have chosen to spend the rest of your life with andyour two families are now to be joined as one.
