2nd Time Around

I'm planning to get remarried sometime in the near future. NO! He has not popped the question and presented me with a fabulous ring but that's neither here nor there, I know that it's coming. I got faith the size of a mustard seed. *Shut up*

What is proper etiquette when you fitna say "I DO" for the second and hopefully the last time? Does the fact that your first marriage (read: huge mistake) only lasted 60 odds days determine whether or not to go all out on the second one? I'm just sayin *shrug*.

I can't see myself planning another "church" wedding. It's too time consuming and who really feel like doing that all over again? Not I, although I gotta be honest, planning the first one (read: huge mistake) was stress free and easy. Everything was good except the dayum marriage. Go figure. What a joke!

My soon to be fiance husband said he's cool with whatever I want to do but I feel like it should be all about him. Ya know since I've had my time in the spotlight. I can do without all the bells and whistles. I just want his last name and rights to his benefits (read: life insurance :-) j/k). *sigh* I don't want to pick out a venue, wait to see what their availability is and build my day around that. Nope. Not feeling it. I wanna go to Vegas or on a cruise. Something spontaneous. I don't want any bridesmaids or ringbearers or flowergirls or ushers or any of that stuff. I don't need a buncha dayum flowers (what the hell do they do with all those flowers afterwards anyway??) or a buncha family and friends eating and drinking up all my hard earned money at the open bar. No suh, not on my dime. You only get one free party outta me. You do the math.

What kind of dress do you buy for a Vegas wedding? What's an appropriate color? White? Cream? Red? Black? *crackin up* Finding a dress for a cruise would be easier although I know I don't want the cinderella, ballroom, fairy tale look. *sigh* Definitely not my type of swag. I want to be classy and elegant. Side note: don't you hate when folks be like classy and elegant. I'm like shut up already. Classy and elegant show from the inside out not vice versa. Hmpf! Anywho, I wanna be classy and elegant *lol* but not over the top. What is a girl to do?

Reality says to sit my azz down and wait for him to propose but I don't live in reality so whatev! I am being proactive so that when he does act like he got some got dayum sense (read: propose) we won't have to waste time with the preliminaries. *giggle* I am so smart.

Holla atcha girl

One Man’s Opinion said...

I think you were jeans and a white t for a Vegas style wedding. And that style of dress is appropriate for both the male and the female.

Unknown said...

You know damn well they make poppourri out of all those flowers. Don't let the man pick out the details of your date....Trust me, because if it was me, we'd do it online.

A.u.n.t. Jackie said...

what ever you do...just DON'T have one of them ugly ass court house weddings!

Those are the worse and there's bad energy in those court houses.

Have a Vegas Wedding, wear something sharp (what ever you think sharp is) and invite all of your friends to party with you when it's over.

I think inviting families are important cuz you are actually marrying eachother's families so they might as well come and bring gifts:-)

proacTiff said...

And you should post an invitation to attend your nontraditional wedding via your blog (read: being proactiff in my quest to attend a cyber-fren's wedding) *LOL*. On the real, I like the way you are thinking as it relates to the "Impending" nuptuals. I am still on my first marriage and I chose the path less beaten for a then 24-year-old. We had a NO frills wedding, I had on a NO frills gown purchased from a local couture resale boutique and we had NO attendants (groomsmen, bridesmaids, bearers, etc.). Just close family and a few local friends. I was never pained over my two best friends not being in attendance (they live distant). Both married, however I was the maid for one's wedding and the other had a shotgun-style wedding like me, albeit her 2nd time around.

Moral of my comment, DO YOU! (Thanks, Russell Simmons, for your most befitting title for errythang under the sun.) Just post pictures of you in that red, black and white backless dress and matching crotchless drawls! (Read: "Durty" minds think alike.) You know your ass wanna be ready for the honeymoon. May as well get an early start. Who has time to take off a foo-foo gown. *LOL*

JustMeWriting said...

HAHAHA... girl, you crack me up. I FEEL YOU ALL THE WAY and I've never been married (please Lord) ha. It's soooooo much money that you guys could put toward your house or vacationing.

I'd say go to an Island somewhere beautiful get married and honeymoon there...maybe even have whatever friends and family who wants to come there.

La said...

LMFAO! You crack me up girl.


That is the marvelous thing about it being your wedding and your day; you can do whatever the hell you want. I knew a chick recently who got married in a red dress. And I do mean RED. I'm talkin' straight up fire engine, candy apple red wedding gown. Yes. Typical wedding gown... bright red. I loved it. I spent the entire day in awe of her fabulousness.

The moral of the story is, it's your day to do whatever. And everybody else will need to fall in line whether its your 2nd time or your 17th.

DurtyMo said...

@TS Thanks for stopping by (who you?) LOL

@LAPA What the hell? You lucky you didn't get an instant delete. Don't be coming on here sprewing all that craziness. And why would I add that blog to my blog? *eye roll* Please get.

@CQ *smile* I'll be checking you out.

@Aunt Jackie. I am dying laffin @ courthouse weddings have bad energy. ahhahah! I've known Stunna since high school and I've stalked him ever since so it's only appropriate that the stars and moons have aligned *glo-reh* LOL! Our families know each other and they don't care one way or the other. They just saying it's about dayum time!

@PRO I have no words. You are simple as hell! Goodness! I can't stop laffin!

@JMW I'd love to do a destination wedding but you know when you invite folk you gotta wait for them to get their money right. Nope. I can't. LOL

@LA I try not to do shyt all plain jane and humdrum. I like to add my own lil flavor but for this I just wanna do the dayum thang and be done with it! Ugh! Decisions, decisions!

Jazzy said...

I'm so with you on not wanting to do it up big...plus I never EVER want to subject any mate of mine to all of my family in one setting where there is alcohol. Seriously!

You have my vote for Vegas!

Diva's Thoughts said...

CapCity said...

HEY Durteh!
First off congrats - for WHENEVER he proposes! i agree with first anonymous/bf - do what U (both) FEEL! Long as U 2 are enjoying it - that's ALL that matters!

I'm not married, yet & have NEVAH wanted that princess bride BS...have always just wanted to do OUR thang (j.o.p., island, cruise, vegas, whereEVAH) then give a fly li'l intimate party for folx who i don't mind feedin' & gettin' likkered up (cuz 9 times outta 10 they did it for me!;-). LOL!

nikki said...

do what YOU want. weddings are a sham anyway. all that money spent and for what? so people can remember that favors, food and drink, and totally forget the significance of exchanging the vows?

my vote is for destination wedding. small and simple.
