This is my 2nd marriage. I was a young bridge 15 years ago, who planned for months for my special day, who also spent too much money and went through allot of stress.

Now, I am getting married again. Since, he has never been married, he wants a traditional wedding.

Do you think it is tacky for me to not want to wear a bridal gown? I have purchased an Ivory floor length dress with a matching bolero jacket.

AND, I do not want a cake--instead I am having wedding cake trifle, served in martini glasses........much cheaper and no waste.

We are both 40 years old and are trying to be financially practical!
