DO IT!  You only get married once (hopefully!) so make it the night of your dreams!

I went to one of my cousins. She called it a committment ceromony. It was unlike any I'd ever been to. Partly because they were two women and yes, at first it was a bit strange, but also because it was not your every day same old same old....bride cuts the cake....throws the bouquet...blah, blah, blah. Too many "weddings" are exactly alike.\nThis happened to be the most fun wedding (whatever u wanna call it) I've ever attended. The whole thing was held outdoors and after the ceromony everyone changed into casual clothes, ate BBQ, went swimming, danced, played cards and drinikng games. It really was a blast. After attending, I told myself when I get married I was going to have the same kinda thing....except the only difference being..I'd be marrying a man.

No.  This is the day you MUST look your best.  You need to have a trial with each one and see which one you like best.  I would do this about a month before the wedding.  That way, the one you cancel will have time to fill the space.

Maybe, you want to decide first as to whom you want to be at the wedding (families, friends, etc.) because with the economy, I don't really think that everyone will be able to afford to go to a location wedding. Find a local area that matches closest to what type of weddng you're dreaming of (garden wedding, beach resort, theme park, etc.), and save the real location (hawaii, cayman islands, etc.)for the honeymoon. Good luck.

You should wait at least a year or more before getting married again, as you sure don't want to make the same mistake again............

YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT THAT DAY. ITS YOUR WEDDING. I DID IT ON MINE AND NOT ONE PERSON SAID ANYTHING TO ME. IF THEY DO JUST SAY THAT YOU ARE NERVOUS AND TO MIND THIER OWN BUSINESS. ITS NOT A BIG DEAL. ME AND MY HUSBAND BOTH DID IT. MAYBE OTHER GUESTS OR MEMBERS WILL JOIN YOU

Make sure you really want to do it again first!  (Just joking) \n\nAlot of couples with do this if they have had problems and want to start anew, kind of erase the past.  \n\nAs you know most weddings are forgotten, but the reception is what lives on!  To save money, still have the small church wedding, but plan a big reception!  Make your renewed vows special to you, your family and a few of your closest friends!\n\nMake your own invitations. With all the scrapbooking material out there, you can make some really pretty ones.\n\nPick out a beautiful dress, tux and spend money on the pictures! That is what you want to remember your special day!

The two of you need to sit each other down and reach an agreement because you want different things. Together I'm sure that you will be able to reach a compromise, the thing is if you have a church wedding and invite friends and family they will expect you to have a reception afterwards. Or why don't you suggest that instead of having a reception you just take a few close family members and friends to a restaurant and have a meal, which would be nice.  Also wedding dresses come in all shapes, and styles explain to him that you don't want a fancy wedding dress just something that is simple. After all it's your wedding day and as long as the two of you are happy with what you decide to do then that is the main thing. It's your wedding you don't necessarily have to have all the extras. Remember the most important thing is your life after the wedding

I don't know if they have marriage commissionaires or not where you live. But in Canada we do and they are allowed to perform non-denominational ceremonies that are recognized by the government.  We are getting married next year and a friend of my fiance is a commissionaire and so will be performing our wedding at a an outdoor ceremony at a nice hotel.  We will then move inside for the reception, dinner and dance.  Good luck in your search for a non-traditional wedding also.

See if there's a B&B that will let you rent  out part of the place for a wedding (that's what I did for a small wedding - it's cost me 100.00) small wedding party 25 people.\n\nYou could try a public park - or a relative- who has a large enough area for the wedding.

Nope.  But you can check out a book on weddings there.

Absolutely.  I just got married and I had an "ex-girlfriend" only table at the wedding.  One of the highlights of our wedding album is a picture of my wife and I along with the 4 ex's.

We'd both been married before and definitely didn't want to have a big wedding.  We decided to go to New Orleans and leave everyone else behind.  My grown kids were kinda upset, but this wedding was for us.\n\nWe got married in a chapel a block from Bourbon Street and spent our honeymoon there for the next 3 days.  It was wonderful.  If I had it to do all over again, I'd do the same thing.  Not much expense and no headaches.  Wedding and honeymoon all in the same place.\n\nThis was 3 and half years ago, before the hurricane by the way.  I wanted a memorable wedding and it was.

When announcing a marriage that is not going to be having a follow-up reception, keep it simple.  Simply stating (for example)- It is with great pleasure to announce that on (enter date, 2006), (enter name of bride) and (enter name of groom) vowed their love and devotion to eachother in a (for example) seaside ceremony on the beaches of Hawaii.  May they have a happly and blessed life together.\n\nPeople don't really need any other information than that.  Many people understand that in today's day, age and economy, a reception is an unnecessary expense.  Those that are close enough to you already know and anyone that wants to send a gift will have access to your address from the return address on the envelope.  There is no tactful way to present the gift issue if you are not having a reception.  It would be untactful to register somewhere and include that information.  If whomever you are sending the announcements to has an actual impact on your lives, they will send a gift.
