For over a year me and my husband have been talking about planning a second wedding. We’ve narrowed down our ideas, and I will start implementing them next year. We’re limiting our budget to that of our wedding budget which is $1,000.
Me and my husband we’re out just window shopping yesterday in a jewelry store, and I think I may have found a ring that I really like. Unfortunately, the ring couldn’t be made in platinum. This was a bit upsetting, but understandable. So we went to another store, and found another a platinum ring that on sale, discounted 40% and we got an additional 10% off for being military. We ended up paying $178.00 for a $1700 ring. I love my new wedding ring
While we we’re out we happen to see my husbands co-worker. He asked what we we’re doing and my husband said we we’re doing some shopping for our second wedding and for Christmas. This man (who I DO NOT LIKE) looked at me and said, “That is just a waste of time and good money. Me and my wife had a very nice wedding. Why are you all having a second wedding? Wasn’t your first wedding memorable enough? You should be focusing on the quality of your marriage, not crying over spilled milk.”
Then my loyal husband said, “I made my beautiful wife cry on our wedding day. I promised not to do something and I did it anyway. This second wedding is not her idea, it’s mine. She deserves this, and I am willing to give it to her. Our room mates got drunk, when we told them no alcohol, and we didn’t get a honeymoon because of my bratty sister. She is the love of my life, and I want to do this for her. I’m creating new memories for us. We have a great marriage, and I don’t appreciate you saying otherwise. Have a nice day ******** (guys last name).”
I just stood there and couldn’t believe that someone had the guts to tell us that a second wedding is a waste of time and money. So I’m asking you all out there: Do you think that planning a second wedding is a waste of time and money? Please no rude or tactless answers. Thank you.
I should give a few more details. We have NO debts, my husband is in the military, I have my own business, and we have 4 kids who will be participating in our second wedding.
No one is being invited, and there won’t be a formal reception. Just a very private ceremony for me, my husband and our kids.
