YAY!!!

This is just my own personal opinion. I would have a informal type bar be que hootny nanny affair. I would have it at your place and have your friends and guests dress informal and provide a good mouth watering picnic type buffet. Have a good band to provide some good music and etc. I wouldn't ask my guests for gifts or money as this is your 2nd marraige and since you have been living together you probably have alot of the basics. I wish you much happiness for your wedding and congrats all around!

Congratulations! That is exciting!!

When my dh and I got married, we did it outside. We rented 'space' at the Arboretum. It was absolutely beautiful.

BUT when it was over and done we swore if we were going to do it over again, we'd elope next time. There was so much family politics, so much to be done. It all cost too much (we had very little help, and a super tight budget with one income and a baby).

If you didn't have a regular ceremony the first time around, do it it now. Otherwise, I say ELOPE, and have a blast! Take along a friend as witness and hike to the top of a mountain, or fly to some exotic location (not sure what the laws would be, but how neat would it be to get married at Macchu Picchu or (closer to my home and much less expensive

) there are some beautiful spots on the Appalachian trail with fantastic waterfalls and views. LOL! I say let your imagination run wild.

Sounds like you guys are made to last! Sometimes it takes awhile to grow up enough to be ready to share that with someone else (hence your divorce).

CONGRATS!!

Well, remarrying your ex isn't all that out of the ordinary. I say this because (not too many know this) but that is what my wife and i did. We were married in April of 1986 when i was still in the army. had my Daughter in 1990 and then my son in 1992. Then her mother started messing with my wifes head and putting all these ideas into her head. My wifes mother can be very over bearing and demanding, But thats a different story all together lol. She ended up walking out on me in 1994. It finally took my wife till 1997 to see her mother the way i saw her. We patched things up and remarried in 1998. We did it on the same day as our original date also. We decided to just have a simple ceremony in Las Vegas at the Just of Peace (we lived in L.V at the time). MIL was NOT present. And we have been together ever since.

Congrats!

My brother and his wife also remarried.

If the beach where you orginally had gotten married has good memories for you both, perhaps that would work for you. Simple and sweet. Then a big party with friends and family.

Congrats! That' s so awesome that you stayed friends and discovered you in love again (still) Hope you stay this happy for the rest of your marriage.

Wow- lots of great ideas...it's so hard to decide what to do. It'll definitely be informal, and hopefully very small (family politics..ugh!). I'm really leaning towards something with just the kids.

Thanks for all the congrats! I knew I'd get many well wishes from you guys.

Y'all are great!

I like the cruise idea too, but since you live in Texas, do an Alaskan cruise with you, your guy and the kiddos. You get the wedding and honeymoon in one go. Alaska has this cool provision that anyone can marry you, it's a one day kind of deal. I don't know if it works for out of state residents though. If you had a special friend or relative or even maybe your kids could perform a legal wedding. Congrats! What a great story.

How SWEET!!!

Congrats!!!

Congratulations to you both!! How romantic!!

A cruise is fun, and the captain can marry you on board.

A cruise does sound fun...guess i'll look into prices and such. Thanks.
