    Am I being judgy to wonder why they're having a big wedding? It's going to be most of the same people as the last time. I feel like if I already had a wedding with that person, I would just go to city hall the second time.

    @ashleyep--ditto! Or I'd just haul ass down to some tropical place with my significant other and tie the knot on a beach there just the two of us.

    My aunt and uncle remarried after 3 years of divorced and went to Hawaii with their sons for a ceremony.... unfortunatley 10 years later they got divorced again

    I'd probably give a nice bottle of wine or a gift voucher to a restaurant or marriage counselling :-) Something alone those lines.

    That's offensive. My parents got divorced and remarried after a couple years. Maybe they GOT counselling and that's how they managed to work it out and are getting remarried. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    If I were close enough to these people to attend their wedding again, I'd probably get a gift, but a small one. 

    Honestly, this whole thing sounds gift grabby to me and (assuming they had a reception the first time around) I'd decline to go unless it was my best friend or sibling and the wedding was in town. 

    I do have a friend who divorced her husband and then remarried him (caring for a sick parent on another continent put too much stress on their marriage, but after her mother passed away, they decided they never should have gotten divorced in the first place and he moved to the states from Australia, where they had both lived originally).  Their second wedding was a courthouse wedding with the required two witnesses, who were just court employees.  No guests. No huge ceremony.  No reception.  They considered their first wedding their wedding.  The second one was just to make them legally married again.
