[Cristina Marks]

[]Hi my name is Cristina and I am writing to you from South Africa. My husband and I have been married for 20 years in October this year. I was a widower when I met my second husband and we had to get married as I was three months pregnant with my daughter. At the time both my parents were not keen for me to marry him and therefore decided not to contribute anything towards our wedding. His parent were also in no financial position to help. Therefore we did everything ouselves as much as we could. We had a very small and poor wedding, we only had family and a few friends all in all we had about 10 people, we got married at 10 am on a Saturday am and we had tea and cake at my in-laws house. In all this time we have had our ups and down! So we have decided to renew our vows. I would like to find out I am 47 years old and I would like you to advise me on a suitable wedding dress for me to have made. Also I do a lot of scrapbooking so I would like to do the invitation myself, would you know of a good website for ideas for these! As we are no longer youngesters, do you suggest we have a morning ceremony with a lunch or is it suitable to have an afternon ceremony with a reception into the night with the whole lot i.e. dancing etc. Thank you and regards

Dear Cristina:

The folowing pages on this site will be of interest to you and, I believe, should answer your questions:

The type of service you have and what time of day you have it is totally up to you.

Enjoy!
