Etiquette for a second marriage
Times are changing 'and
along with them, the
traditions attatched to
marriage and the wedding
ceremony.
For women taking the
vows for the second time, the
feelings of happiness, Joy
and excitement, once
reserved only for first time
brides are being shared by
all:
"The whole atomsophere
surrounding second wed-
dings has changed," ob-

editor-in-chief of Bride's
magazine. "There is nothing
that can be considered taboo
anymore. The only question
couples need to ask them

down the aisle omitted.
Throwing the bouquet and
garter are left out, but
otherwise the reception can
be as large and lavish a
party as desired.
A woman marrying again
has her choice, of wedding
outfits.
