Wearing a wedding dress for a vow renewal ceremony
|
|
|
We are renewing our vows but I want a semi formal "real" wedding since I never had one. I already bought the dress in ivory and the veil. I'm only going to wear a veil as a head piece, not over my face. The veil is short (up to my shoulders). Is that ok since I never was married in the church? How many witnesses are there supposed to be? I appreciate all the information. Thank you very much.

Dear Already Married,
You can use the veil as a head piece, but not place it over your face. Your ceremony can be very close to a wedding, so that you can have your marriage blessed by the church. You don't need attendants because you don't need witnesses. You also don't need a procession with a father figure walking you down the aisle. Because your family has supposedly already given their blessings for you to be married. Many times wives will have their children walk them down the aisle. Often the couple walks in from the sides of the church toward the alter.
You can find more information in any etiquette book. The Bride's Book of Etiquette is an excellent source.
Best wishes,
