Just curious to know if anyone feels anything is reserved only for first time brides only. Please weigh in on veils, wearing white, showers, registries, being given away by dad, etc. Both my intended and I have been married before. We both had traditional weddings but the marriages were short (and abusive!) on both counts. We don't want to offend anyone but we also don't want to pay deference to previous marriages to people who were less than kind - it seems like it allows them to continue the abuse. For what it's worth neither of us have children so we don't have little ones' feelings to consider here. He has been divorced for 10 years and I have been divorced for 5. Both our exes have remarried and we have no contact with them. Thanks in advance for any input!
