They shouldn't expect any gifts either.


That's another thing...the bride and groom are in their 40's. What the hell do you get them?

I just think it is odd to have another big ceremony, especially if both have already done the big celebration thing

I still went and had a great time and congratulated them and all that



It's THEIR day... let them celebrate it the way they want, and be happy for them... at least you kept it classy

Who cares? So they failed at their first marriage and they are not allowed to hold a party to celebrate a new union with their friends?

Here's a better question: Why are people so damn judgemental?

Question for you all, is it just me or is it a bit ridiculous to have a wedding after both the bride and groom have previously been married and divorced?


What are they supposed to do?

You should have done the real OT thing and asked if it was trashy.

I'm guessing a lot of people on this board have divorced and remarried.

Not me. Just got married for the first time. I just think it's an asinine question but not as asinine as some of the responses.

I wonder if the ex-spouses will be there...that could be awkward.

You still bring a gift, you dolt.

Open bar and food means you bring a gift whether it's a wedding, birthday party, a flower arrangement to a funeral, or a bottle of wine to a dinner party.

This.

My SO was previously married. We have already established that were just going to have a drunken debacle with our closest friends.

I sure as frick am not paying for a big arse wedding. I could sign the marriage license and then just go to a nice dinner for all I care

It's only weird if they do it up like they haven't "been there and done that" before...The "Mulligan" wedding is sad.

Had a buddy do a low key one on his second go-round. Everybody was sort of hesitant to even go, but the marriage is going much better than his first. So, I am glad we went. The bigger issue for you is whether a NYE wedding is a narcissistic punk move or a cool idea. I guess if the alcohol is free, that's OK.

Previously married to each other? Because I've seen that.

What does this mean? Why would you be hesitant to go? I mean, I'm hesitant to go to any wedding, because I'm antisocial. But are people really that taken aback by the second marriage of a friend that they have to think long and hard on whether to attend?
