     Helping my Aunt re-marry her ex  

Hello. My Aunt and Uncle were married for 25 years. Unfortunately he decided to have a couple affairs and they divorced. This was 3 years ago. After a time apart they realized that they are best friends and he has apologized and she has fully forgiven him. She wants to re-marry him and he her. They didn't have a wedding the first time and she wants one now. Not a big one but just something more than Justice of the peace. She has asked me to help her make it succinct for everyone. She doesn't know if she should send invitations, what to wear, or how to handle re-buffs by other family members who are not happy with the situation. Any advice you can give me to point her in the right direction would be great.

Thanks,

Eileen Dobek

Dear Eileen,

This would be considered a wedding, so she can have any type of ceremony she wishes. Her dress should be age appropriate and match the formality of the event.

It is unfortunate that she has friends and family who are less than excited for her. So, it may be best to allow them to decide if they wish to attend without applying any pressure.

Best wishes,
