Hello Ladies, are there any older brides doing this as a 2nd, 3rd or maybe 4th time around? My FHhad a JOP wedding with his wife of 30yrsand she passed away. We are having a barn/winery wedding and I am getting some backlash from qmy sister sand some GF that I should have done JOP as well. I willbe wearing dress for MOB style..no white ball gown for me. And yes it's my 3rd. First husband was a drunk and abusive. 2and one was a baby and took me for so much money. He left for up to 6 mo at a time. I'm so glad to be rid of him. My FH is a dream come . I am so very happy and dont cry any more.

    Similar situation here, I’m 34 and was divorced in 2015. Met my soulmate and we’re doing an elopement and I’ve been asked why I’m doing a traditional wedding dress. My answer is because I hated my dress before and because I want to, and that’s that! You do whatever makes you both happy and congrats!!!

    Good for you! Yes definitely our last . He is 60s I am 50s. We are planning it together and that makes it even better. Make it as elaborate as you want. After all, are they paying for it?.

    No I have not asked my family to pay for anything.... I've just asked my sister to pay for her attire to be in the wedding as I have with all the other bridesmaids
