This reminded me of my brother's wedding in June, 1987 in Spring Lake NJ at my mother's beachfront home. It was his 2nd marriage to my lovely SIL and I recall sauntering around Spring Lake with my very cool uncle. We ended up at the E&S (Essex & Sussex) which was then still open as a summer hotel at the pool in all our glam clothes. We sat for a while then went back to enjoy the beautiful wedding.Ina in Alaskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07163454431322742148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-86665624972435265902010-04-10T16:04:55.766-07:002010-04-10T16:04:55.766-07:00ADG - Irrepressible.

I love second weddings which equal second chances. I do not like the white traditional wedding dresses for seconds however - showing my age, I know. Wear white if you must but make it different like a silk shantung suit which is usually better in color and not a soft color like the mother of the bride type. I also think it is tacky to have showers and register for second weddings. We love to give concert or theater tickets. No one at this point should need anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-42687085013168372402010-04-09T16:19:51.700-07:002010-04-09T16:19:51.700-07:00Poppy, your mom's dress sounds amazing!

(Still with me?) She was 36 with two daughters from her first marriage. She'd already had the big wedding the first time, but got another white muffin dress for her wedding to my husband. Maybe the non-tacky thing to do is wear the traditional white once, then switch to something elegant but more second-wedding appropriate for your subsequent marriages.<br /><br />My grandmother fit into her wedding dress for her 50th anniversary party, but for as much cooking as she did, eating never seemed to be a big deal for her. Plus she spent a lot of time gardening and other farm stuff.
