Does anyone else here carry some guilt about walking down the aisle again? I am really struggling with this for some reason. I told my FI that I was perfectly fine just going to the justice of the peace and calling it good, but since this is his first time getting married, I don't want to take the wonderful experience of a wedding away from him. He's actually very excited and wants to be involved in the whole process. But I feel that I don't deserve to go through it all again, and feel foolish trying on dresses, and attempting to go through the whole planning thing again. I am only recently divorced, but I love my FI tremendously and am determined that we will be together for ever. He wants a semi-formal wedding, me in the white dress, invitations...all that. We're planning on getting married in 18 months because we don't want to rush things (my ex got remarried 5 days after our divorce!). Do I deserve all this pom and circumstance?

And no one said a thing. Of the people at our wedding, one was my ex-husband, one was his sister who had been divorced twice, the two married couples both consisted of people all of whom both had been married to someone else before, two were women in their late 30s who have never been married, one was my sister who was attending without her husband because he is a homophobic idiot, and two were my kids, who love my wife and were happy to have her officially in the family. Even at our reception, which was much larger (60 people), people were just happy to see us so happy, and not lecturing us on what was "appropriate."
