I think we can all have and voice an opinion.

However, whatever one’s own feelings are, it’s not up to us to decide what is and isn’t appropriate for a complete stranger’s wedding outfit.

Plenty of people marry in white, in full wedding dresses, in second or even third marriages and often have children from prior relationships as their bridesmaids or pageboys.

It would not be for me, but I certainly wouldn’t judge others and I too think it was a beautiful dress which she looked radiant wearing.

Good luck to them both flowers

I wouldn't call wearing white with a veil covering your face 'doing it right this time around'...however, you can wear what you want.
I think the virginal look was a bit silly, tbh.

I found it ever so surprising (not) that they both got ever so special dispensation from their parish priests to be able to remarry in church. One might almost think they were well connected.

Don't wish to seem rude but I thought she was beautiful. It is her own right/choice to choose what she wears as a wedding dress . I think nowadays people at least have the confidence not to worry too much about what others think especially on a very happy occasion such as this was. It was her/their very special day.

I thought she looked lovely. It’s her wedding, her day. Who knows what her wedding was like first time round? Maybe she wanted to do it right this time round. Her wedding, her dress, her choice.

I think that her outfit, although beautifully made, was inappropriate for a divorced person of 46 and who has a child. She did look striking but the outfit was not really suitable for someone approaching middle age.
