My oldest was the only one around during the first marriages and he was 5 months old. So all the kids are really exciting that they want to plan a wedding by themselves (the girls anyways loll) Shanna Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893251369813517350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768879993773832088.post-55033327100987330872013-02-17T14:09:01.314-08:002013-02-17T14:09:01.314-08:00When we put together our "Brady Bunch" w...When we put together our "Brady Bunch" we felt it was very important to include all the kids in the actual ceremony. We held it in the home we were all going to come together to live in and invited family and few friends. Very intimate and sweet. A second marriage for both of us, we've found that the daily commitment to each other's happiness is far more important than a huge symbolic event. <br /><br />The first time I got married I had the whole shebang, reception, ton's of people, oodles of food, money,money, money. And it was beautiful. That marriage didn't end up being a happy one. No matter how big and fancy your wedding is, it's only one day.<br /><br />The actual wedding really doesn't deserve the attention it's getting. I always advise people, if they do have money, don't waste it on the wedding, go on a awesome honeymoon for some real bonding time, or put it toward a home.
