Michele, your post on the dating times before marriage made me laugh because I thought I was one of the only "older, encore brides" here (I'll be 35 in January). I looked through your bio & our situations are very similar. I too had thought to never marry again, though my fiance has had a full commitment from me since we started dating. I thought (and sometimes still do) that the wedding was just a formality, but I sure am getting excited now! We're both April 2010 brides - best wishes to you!
