     Attendants & Reception for 2nd Marriage - Bahamas  

My fiance and I will be going to the Bahamas this summer with close friends and family to be married on the beach. This is both of ours second marriage. So, my first question is - do we have to have attendants? Or, is it appropriate to do so? One of my closest friends that will be going was a bridesmaid in my first wedding. Would it be wrong to have her as my Maid of Honor if we choose to have attendents? And, finally - since this is a small wedding, would it be appropriate to have a larger reception when we return home so that friends and family who could not go to the Bahamas may celebrate with us?

Many Thanks....

KD

The answer to all of your questions is...YES!

Have it all or have none of it..it's all up to you! There are very few "don'ts" which can be found throught the articles within the gettingremarried.com site.

Dear Bride,

Generally weddings have attendants. They are the formal witnesses to the event and should be people you would like to honor. While some second time brides are superstitious about having the same attendants, if you are not superstitious, you can choose your friend.

Yes, you may have a reception when you return home. For invitation wording, consult our page on [url=http://www.gettingremarried.com/wedding_invitations.html]addressing wedding invitations


All the best,
Jodi
