This is going to sound so Superficial . . . but I don't mean it that way!

Ok. I never got to have a wedding ceremony and that always meant a lot to me. We couldn't afford it. I just manted the dress and flowers and mainly to have my dad walk me down the aisle. Our relationship was so horrible at that point and I think it would have given us some times that we lost bc of everything. Not to mention my dad's family is prejudice. How is it I never saw that b4 I got prego with my 1st. My hubby is hispanic, I'm white. My hubby wants me to have that dream wedding that i had planned for years b4 we met. I just want to know what your opinions are on whether I should forget about it or still try for it on our 15th anniversary, which is in 9 years? Don't hold back your thoughts. Let me have whatever you have to say!

I would say "GO FOR IT"!!!

If that is what you want then you should do it. My mom gave me shit about going ahead with my second wedding. i wanted to have just as beautiful a ceremony as my first (and we were paying for it ourselves).  I wanted a big wedding and a white dress and everything, so why not?

Same for you...You guys should just plan it and do it :-)

My want is a honeymoon. I was 8 months pregnant at my first wedding so no honeymoon. we were planning a honeymoon for my second wedding, but I ended up being 8 months pregnant again (oops!). So I want one for our 10th anniversary.

Thanks! I just want family and my close friends. No friends of my families. They aren't paying so they get no say so. I just want the dress and flowers I have picked out. That will be expensive enough. I want my girls to be part of it also. Ring bearer and flower girls. It would be so much fun. They will love the dresses. They are already lil divas with fashion.

I say go for it! 

I was actually thinking about doing the same thing for our 10 year anniversary.  We had a ceremony and it was beautiful, fun, and I loved it, but it wasn't the dream ceremony that I had wanted since I was 6 and put the pillow case cover on my head with my handful of Dandelions!

[Mandafers]

Definitely go for it! I didn't get to have the wedding I wanted either and I really hope that some day, DH and I are in a financial situation where we can have the party we always wanted, with everyone we love there to celebrate. I had no friends at my "wedding" and only my immediate family. It breaks my heart looking back on it, and that's not how a girl should remember her wedding.

Go for it, and if your family still can't accept your husband by then, and your dad won't walk you down the aisle (which I hope he will) then ask another man who may be a father figure to you, to do it.  My husband and I are going to be renewing our vows when we can afford it, and I cannot wait! Oh, and I know what you are going through.  My brothers are both members of white supremicist groups, and even though they have been in the same room as my husband on a few rare occasions, refuse to meet him.  My husband even tried to be the bigger man, and offered his hand, and they ignored him.  It was terrible.  My 21 year old brother went so far as to say I should abort my baby, he would be fucked up anyways and either die or kill himself before his 21st birthday.

Do it! Do it! Do it! I know exactly how you feel. Its never too late :) have a ball.

[Jezzeria]

I think you should go for it! Make it sooner if you want! :) We plan on doing different wedding vow renewals like every 5 years.

Imo its not the wedding that makes the marriage :)

[luvmykaitygrace]

I have to agree with this. It's a lot of money to have a "dream" wedding.

Quoting MultiPara:

[OsWifeandMama]

 Right :) Its never too late to make something you've dreamed of come true.
