I would hate to think that a love story isn’t forever, but sometimes it isn’t whatever the reason may be….but now you’ve found your forever with someone new, and your living for the moment and you can’t imagine your life without this person! How do you go about a second proposal? Are there any rules of etiquette in regards to second marriage? Would love to hear your thoughts on do’s and don’t’s on second proposal/wedding etiquette.
I can say for me, I went through a very dirty divorce while starting my relationship with my current wife. I had been separated and living in my own guest room for over a year and looking back it was one of the best things to ever happen to me… The etiquette IVE LEARNED is things like: don’t make your new spouse deal with old issues between you and your ex, talk about what works best for you two and keep it that way and always ALWAYS have open communication.
Build new memories and don’t compare now to past (I.e. my ex used to say X…).
This is your opportunity to be a better person than you were the first time, make it matter more between you and your spouse… if you’ve been married before and you know the stresses then it’s a lot like you helping someone through their first holiday. You can be their calm in the storm, be that for him/her.
There’s no such thing as a “right” or “wrong” proposal… With that being said, I wouldn’t do it the same as the first one… Then again, I have a hard time thinking anyone would because every relationship is different!!!
Just my 4 cents 😂🤷♂️
As for each proposal, catering it to your connection with your love will make it the right way for you both, which is what you should do for your wedding day as well.
As for particular etiquette on the wedding, I would say plan that special day to resemble you and your love. It made our wedding more enjoyable for us both, with it being the second for each of us, it was less formal and filled with love and laughter.
