How could I make up for our first wedding?

my husband and I had a shotgun wedding...although it was nice and all, I was 5 months pregnant, and needless to say it wasn't the wedding I had dreamed of.....that was almost 10 years ago, we would like to try and celebrate our marriage with our friends and family, like a second wedding, but not so much so...just the party and other stuff....anyone have any suggestions, I'm just about clueless on the whole idea...any suggestions are appreciated! ThanksHow could I make up for our first wedding?
have an elaborate 10 year anniversary party and a vow renewal. You can do a religious blessing and wear a modest dress (a suit or a destination wedding dress would be appropriate, no catherdarl lenght dresses, no long train gowns with heavy beading, or puffy, princesy... not appropriate).





Please follow propper etiquette. You already had a wedding, so this will be a vow renewal/anniversary/blessing. Since you are a married woman with an established family and home, skip all events related to a wedding. i.e. no bachelor/ette party (for obvious reason), no showers and no registries.





You shoud not wear a veil or have bridesmaids or groomsman, again you are already married, so there is no need to pretend or re-do.. it's in poor taste. You can wear a destination wedding dress or a suit, no veil, you can have flowers if your would like, some people incorporate their children.





You can host a party afterwards, but please do not expect/request gifts, donations etc. etc. It's likely that people will gift you anyway, but again, it's not expected or required. You can send invitations and have it as fancy as you want.





Definetly go on second honeymoon!!





Enjoy and congratulations!





Good luckHow could I make up for our first wedding?
hey


you could have a party thing that you want with a renewal of your wedding vowels by a celebrant. with your friends as witnesses


i think its great you got married before your baby was born, it shows good character, good luck ;-)
Renew your vows on your 10th anniversary. Tell him you'd marry him all over again.





Will this cause a problem with the child realizing he or she was the reason you are married. Will it open a can of worms that you don't want opened?
Have a ten year anniversary party.
