Dealing With Your Second Marriage
- Move on , although it is easier said than done , let your previous marriage not disturb and mess up your future relationships , handle it with maturity for a trouble free life ahead with your new found love , avoid drawing comparisons between the two.
- If you have children from your first marriage , let them know of your decision to get married , they might not be old enough to understand and might not take the news well , but try talking to them , explain and make them understand. It could be hurting if they have to hear it from someone else than you, make sure they are well aware of the situation. You can involve them by giving responsibilities like bride’s maid, best man, so they feel important and wanted.
- Prepare the guest list carefully , you could include your ex and his/her parents depending on your relationship with them and your comfort level , also the guests that attended your previous wedding could be either included or left depending on your rapport with them.
- Decide with your partner, the kind of wedding you’d like to have, a religious ceremony or a simple civil wedding. Ensure that the necessary paperwork is done for you to remarry.
- The bride’s gown must not be full length and her veil shorter or no veil, with no tossing of the bouquet or the garter, but it’s your call, if you wish to have all of these, you could as well have a proper wedding.
- Take care of your wedding expenses as its only you and your partner who would be arranging the finances , if either of your parents wish to contribute , allow them to , after all they would want to see you settled and happy.
- You very much deserve a honeymoon , don’t put off the idea of having one , but make sure you avoid going to places you’ve visited with your ex , this could bring you disturbing memories playing spoilsport to your honeymoon.
- Lots of love, respect, care and sensitivity towards each other, can keep your marriage blissful and content.
