Woot Woot....Have a party in the back yard and invite everyone special to you. Dont tell them they are coming to a wedding, make that part a surprise.
Go in the house, change clothes, and then come back out to "here comes the Bride". Good luck

What ever you do...........POST PICS!!!!!

I didn't read all the other post so I don;t know if anyone said this yet. Whatever type of ceremony you have you should include your kids. I've seen where people wrote vows to each other (of course) but then had their kids get up in front of the minister and said their own special vows to their kids as well.

I've been married for 3 years. I got married at 21 so I didn't want the traditional boring ceremony. I got married on a dock at my cousin's lake house and my reception was a good ole pig pickin!!! It was great.

The cruise really sounds like a good idea. I really don't want to invite anyone, just us and the kids. A cruise would work perfectly for that. However, we are really laid back kind of people, so a BBQ in the backyard sounds good, too.

We originally got married on the beach with just a handful of people present. A month later we did the church ceremony thing and invited EVERYONE. The formal ceremony was just awful. I hated it and never want to do it again.

I think we may just sneak off with the kids and do a quickie no-frills ceremony, then later have a get together with some family and friends. We don't need or want gifts, so this way no one will feel obligated to bring one.

"I don't know too many people that can even speak to their ex's, much less re-marry them. "


Congrats! I am one of those can't even speak of there ex's. I got married at 19 HUGE mistake , I don't think alot people really know what they want in a husband/wife in there 20's. I know I didn't looking back. But that marriage ended in divorce after 13 years. We have two daughters. And he causes me h** every so many months. I can't tell you how many girlfriends he has had or been engaged to! Now he is remarried to someone with two boys by two different daddy's. And known this girl less than 5 months and she is like 15 years younger than him! lol
Anyway I got remarried in 2005 we have two children together. Yes think about the time, 2005,it is now 2007 I am almost 37 I did not want to be to old. My husband was married before for 6 years and he had no children. His wife left him, mine asked for a divorce after the kids and I got back from a vacation with my sisters. I won't go into to much detail but he was abusive verbally and more. And he talked about my weight, I never could get back down to pre-baby weight. But I was a size 10-12 after two children and I am 5"7. He was overweight and talked about me.
Yeah , if you can't tell I am having problems with him right now. I hate it for my husband I am married to. He is a wonderful guy, I love him so very much and he has put up with alot from my ex. But he never complains about the problems my ex causes. Thank God my husband had no children with his first marriage. Because if we had two ex's in the pic. Oh, my gosh, I don't want to think about it!
Sorry I know I did a little ex - bashing. But if you know what I have been thru, you wouldn't blame me , oh i have some stories i could tell !
I am just trying to pray about the situation and turn it over to God !

I can now talk to my babies daddy. Heehee. Actually that is wrong. My husband now is my kids daddy. They love him. My ex is going to be meeting my youngest for the first time when he is stationed at Ft. Drum in NY. My son is 18 now. He left the day after I found out I was pregnant with him. My oldest loves his step-dad. My daughter loves her step-dad. They call him by his first name to his face but it is my dad this my dad that when they are behind his back.

I guess after 7 years they know he isn't going anywhere.

Wendy- wow...sorry you had/have such a rough time with your ex. It sure makes me feel like one of the lucky ones. I'm glad you found a great guy now, though.

Cheri- I know how that goes..I've had 5 step dads and hated everyone of them until this last one. He's been in the picture for the last oh..15 years or so and I love him a lot. It's funny..when my mom and dad are around each other with their husband/wife and I have to introduce them, I just say 'this is my moms and dads'. I count myself lucky to have such great step parents.
