Official 30+ Brides (previously 40+ thread)

Sorry I've been out of the loop lately....

Here's my advice about your parents. Love and respect them but do what makes YOU happy. You want to celebrate your marriage with your family and friends - so go right ahead and do it. If any family member is opposed to it because they went to your first wedding 20 years ago, they don't have to come.

Whether you want to do a full-blow super traditional wedding or a low-key bbq for this wedding, you are celebrating a MARRIAGE. Enjoy it and don't let anyone rain on your parade.

At the end of the day,I think we old brides like to have things unique. We've been to a lifetime of other weddings, so we know what is important to us.
Don't get me wrong I would have loved a magazine-worthy wedding, but when you have to work for it and save for retirement you see things differently.

I have decided to do what we want and if people dont want to come they dont have to. I am sure at the end of it all my parents will enjoy themselves and be very happy

Just a thought ladies...do you think we could be a forum instead of a thread?

---

How can we do a forum??

I guess we would ask LIW to make it something like theme weddings or DIY.

---

That's a good idea. We all have to promise that we will continue to chat though. lol
