Ok...i'm planning my 2nd wedding and it will be a destination wedding...but i haven't the first clue on what i'm doing!!  Just little things like, does my dad still give me away?  Can i wear white? register or dont register?  My first wedding was only 6 years ago (divorced after 3) so I dont expect gifts...especially b/c we are going away to get married.  My biggest question is does my dad still give me away?  I'd like him to but is that right??  TIA ladies!!!  :)

    Yes, your dad can still give you away and many of the second wedding faux pas are out of date since they are so common now. Just plan the wedding that fits you and your FI's personalities and you can afford.

    Ditto Jersey - plan the wedding you and your FI want.  Wear white (or not), wear a veil (or not), have someone walk you down the aisle (or not). 

    Even though you don't expect gifts, remember that your friends and loved ones will want to give you something to celebrate your wedding.  As far as registering, consider a small registry for some items you would like to upgrade, or a few 'wish list' items you and FI would like to have.  In hindsight, I wish I had done this.  You don't have to do the full-blown registry with china and flatware, but it's nice to have something out there as some of your guests will want to shop from a list of suggestions.

    Ditto the pp's...

    Have the style of wedding you want - period.

    Wear what you want, have who you want in your bridal party, make it what you and your FI want.

    REGISTER!!! Even if you don't expect gifts because there is always someone who will want to get you something.

    Of course you can still have your father "give you away" ... I sense this is very important to you.

    Plan the wedding of your dreams, this is your FIRST marriage to HIM.

    For your wedding gifts, if you already have enough household items, there are websites for a honeymoon registry. For example, if you are going on a cruise, they can pay for a shore excursion like swimming with the dolphins, etc. Since you are having a destination wedding it could also help pay for those costs (bottles of bubbly, flower bouquet, room upgrade, convertible rental for a day,etc). The websites tell you how to set it up money-wise, and were really nice. I used "honeymoonwishes.com", and they were fab, Hope that helps!
