Second Wives Club (or soon to be)

I am a soon to be second wife. I have tried the search on these boards maybe I am not doing it right but, I didn't see a topic like this. I just would just like to hear from other second wives even soon to be second wives their stories or opinions on it. I am 23 and he is 36, he is my best friend and soul mate!!!

A little about our background :)
The thing is I am marrying my fiance on 01/01/11. We met (Both him and his first wife and myself at a work christmas get together) on 01/01/07 actually while he was married to his first wife. He and his first wife divorced in mid 2008 (June). He called me in June 2009. We went on our first date. We have been dating ever since, he proposed in January 2010. So we are fairly new engagement.

The thing is he was with his 1st wife for a long time (10 years). No children for either of us. I was friendly with his wife we got a long really well. The thing is I don't think she knows we are together. He moved away after their divorce. He was rather new to the area when we met and didn't really have any close friends there. I am just curious anyone who has been there or is here now!

I'm not trying to cause hurt feelings or anything to former 1st wives. We absolutly did NOT date, flirt or anything when they were married/together. It was at least 6 months after the divorce we started dating.

I am excited but I am also a little concerned on the future my family keeps warning me that I might be a rebound or that 2nd marriages usually don't work out either.
Trying to keep positive!!!

Thanks so much!
Sealed

    Former knottie here, but I just wanted to say good luck and welcome! My Mom was a second wife and my parents had the world's greatest marriage, so dont worry about being a second wife!!

    Also, this is your time to shine and be happy. Dont let others take that away from you, and dont worry about the 1st wife. She's old news! Enjoy this time!

    I agree with Jill, don't worry about her.  I'm sure there is no hard feelings.

    There is a second weddings board... i believe it's for brides on their 2nd wedding, but you never know...

    I agree with the girls. Don't worry about what anybody else has to say. This is your time to be happy and plan your perfect wedding.

    Agreed with previous repliers: your day, don't let anyone bring you down. I think it speaks volumes of what a lady you are to consider other people's feelings like this, really, and I respect that. Welcome to wedding planning, and brace yourself, it's wonderful, but it can get complicated. Remember to stay strong and true :)

    I am going to be a 2nd wife also. I totally understand your concerns about being a rebound. I actually brought this up to FI and he reassured me. Don't stress over it. It is all about what you guys have together and not about previous relationships.

    Former knottie here also and I am also a second wife and have a similar story as well...I met my husband when we worked together and he was still married but we did not start dating until 6 months after he was divorced from his wife. He did have kids and we have the most amazing relationship b/c they were young enough not to know a life without me as a part of it.  
    When I met him, he didn't want to ever get married again or have kids b/c he didn't believe there was that person out there for him. He soon changed his tune as we fell in love :)
    DO NOT let anyone call you the rebound or make you doubt your future, I had a little of this in the beginning as well...only you know what you guys have and in time any doubters out there will realize what you guys have is real.  Good luck and happy wedding planning!
