What's your definition of an older lady? I'm 42. I wore a veil, carried flowers, and my dad walked me down the aisle.

Old hag here. No veil - not my style (first time nor this time) - I wore hair jewels from Claire's - how's that for crossing the age divide?!Flowers - they were absolutley gorgeous, colorful and decadent. Guests came out from the reception to the car we were waiting in to make our entrance ( best man held up briefly) to tell us that the flowers were amazing and we were going to be so happy.Got married in a chapel and walked down by myself. Greeted guests as I walked - so not a formal processional, but more like a joyful (and somewhat dramatic, lol) entrance. ~Donna

Lol!!! I would like to have defined the older ladies I will be 38 when I walk down the Aisle and I am doing the whole 9 yards I have a tiara, veil, Big Dress and beautiful flowers. I can't wait!!!

I think I'm the oldest haggiest of all. 49 here. I did none of those. We got married on the beach, and my Grecian inspired dress just didn't look right with a veil. I did not carry a bouquet (best decision I made!), and we had neither a path nor aisle. We just created our sacred space with incense and candles, and had the ceremony. See my wedding slideshow for it.

I am right there with you handfast. Hahaha I guess we are both the old hags, but we look good! Not going to do the veil have some type of hair piece with jewels and flowers. Def having fresh flowers this go around and haven't decided has of yet on where we will marry so don't know if their will be an aisle or path.I am kinda thinking about having it in our back yard and walking up our rock steps. Also thinking of a small rustic nautical looking waterfront chapel.

I was 44. Carried flowers, wore hair jewels and a small veil (nothing that covered my face) , and my father walked me down the aisle this time (which was nice because I didn't have enough of a relationship with him the first time to feel comfortable with that)

sheriinaz · August 2009

I'm 41, he's 37. I'm not wearing a veil. I'm looking for hair jewels/comb. I will have flowers - red& orange roses. Wearing ivory dress & walking down a path of petals. I'm going down the aisle myself this time.Skipping the bouquet toss, garter removal/toss, but we are doing the cake.

2dBride · August 2009

Sorry, folks, but I take the prize for oldest hag yet to respond! I'll be 56 on my wedding day. I'm wearing a long ivory dress with a train and a veil with a blusher. PIB. My bride and I are both carrying the bouquet shown below. It will be arranged so one of us will carry it on her left arm, and one on her right. We will be walking together down the aisle.

I am 40 and its my 2nd marriage, his first. Im doing what I want. I've always wanted a long veil, so Im doing it this time. Everybody will have opinions about what you "should" do. Do whatever YOU and your fiance feel comfortable doing!

NYHarleyBride · August 2009

I'm 46...he's 44, my dress is ivory, lace and sexy, gold shoes, small veil, just for the ceremony (one thing I am doing to appease Mom and it looks nice anyway, and the photog said it will be rgeat for pics...she was right). I am doing the flowers, they will be real. My younger (irish twin) brother is walking me and my son is a groomsman, so figured this was the best way to include them both.No garter, bouquet, aisle runner. Lots of food and cake!!!

I will be 40 when I walk down the aisle to marry my best friend, who will be 35. I will be wearing a georgeous off-white wedding gown, with a 6 foot train, no veil, carrying a bouquet of roses and wisteria, on the arm of my mom, who will hand me to my 22 year old son halfway. We are doing the bouquet toss, garter toss, and are having the most decadent cake and chocolate fountain. My previous wedding was arranged by my mother and ex-mil, and I had very little say in anything, so this one is going to be the way FI and I want it. alot of people have asked why we are having such a big fancy wedding, and my reply to them is that it's our wedding, we will have it the way we want it, and if they don't like it, they can stay home.

I'm 46, he's 49 - married in a beautiful old B&B. I wore champagne colored satin, no veil, gorgeous bouquet of hydrangeas, roses, and purple carnations. Walked down the aisle on my brother's arm. Our 4 teenagers were bridesmaids and groomsman. The gentlemen wore black tuxedoes (at my request). No bouquet toss, no garter toss.We looked fabulous! And had the most extraordinary day ever.

tototoo82 · August 2009

Older hag lady here (will be almost 46 at my wedding) hah! Ok, the incidentals (flowers, cake, party favours) are not important. The day and the meaning of it is what counts. Do what you want! I'm not wearing a veil, having flowers, cake, favors, photographer (half my family is a photographer). My dress is ivory, no train, I'm wearing my hair up.......I'm being me - not what the magazines tell us we should be. Be yourself. Enjoy the day.

Hi ladies, I never posted on this board before. I'm 51 years old, and he is 48. This will be my second wedding with him. We have been married for 25 years (in December) by the civil, and we are getting married, or convalidation like other ppl say, by the Catholic Church. When we got married in 1984, it was the second wedding for me and the first for him. Luckily I didn't get marry by the church the first time, that marriage lastest only 2 years. I'm having the wedding that I couldn't afford 25 years ago. I'm wearing an Ivory dress, veil, flowers, the whole nine yards. I'm having a wedding party, my oldest daughter is the MOH, my second daughter is the BM, and my 15 years old son is the best man. My grandson is the ring bearer and my 2 granddaughters are the FGs. My nephew will walk me down the aisle. I will have a reception to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary, with the big entrance, first dance, cake cutting, etc.

Well said, I am due to be married on 21st May in Stamford to my lovely John, this will be my second marriage at the tender age of 58 and John's 3rd at his tender age of 68, I have been single for over 30 years, so almost feels like the first time, I know I am truly in love this time that is for sure.

John's family are being absolutely terrible and we have just heard today that his son aged 30 will not be attending and he has retracted his acceptance to be best man for John, why do people play silly games with our emotions and feelings.
We are however determined to have a lovely day surrounded by friends and people who want to share in our joy of being in love and want to be together on our special day.

We will have Kenny Chesney's song "Me and You" played at the ceremony which is our song and a song to be chosen by Keith Urban too.
I am having a purple dress, with small bouquet of Ivory and Purple/Lilac flowers and John will be wearing an Ivory suit and wear a purple waistcoat and buttonhole, we are having a teenager bridesmaid who will be wearing a short puffball purple dress of her own choosing (she loves it) and so it goes, we will be getting married in Stamford, UK which is a beautiful historic town and spending our wedding night at The Historic George Hotel. SO YOU SEE LADIES, YOU ARE NEVER TO OLD TO FIND LOVE AGAIN, I DID AND AM SO VERY HAPPY TO SOON BECOME JOHN'S WIFE.

Help-Just recently decided to get married - both of us 2nd time and almost 60! I am not into the Justice of the peace at the court house, but not the church wedding either. Any suggestions? We love the water & beach but are considering my family. Lots of pros and cons - I'm listening.
