With so many divorces it’s amazing that people continue to get married. Not just once, but multiple times. I guess everyone is hoping to hit the right key. So when you do find the right one and want to commit, go ahead and celebrate too! Most couples don’t like to look at it being their second or third wedding, but as a first for them as a couple. Encore weddings are usually paid for by the couple themselves so all the decisions are made by them too. Most often the guest list is smaller and includes more of their friends and associates, as opposed to their parents friends. I’m told it is OK to invite ex-inlaws, just not ex-spouses.

One of the best ideas that my daughter had for her wedding day was really a treat for all the ladies involved in the day. She hired two beauty technicians to do our hair and makeup. We had reserved a suite at a local hotel, which also housed any guests that needed or wanted to stay the night. The bridal attendants, my daughter’s mother-in-law, her grandmother, a special aunt, and myself arrived at the suite early and lively. Mimosa’s were made; we also indulged in bagels and fruit,as well as cookies. All the attendants, as well as the bride, were having upsweep hairdos so our professionals started to work immediately.
