I am struggling with everything from finding an age appropriate/body type flattering, affordable dress, to explaining to my parents that although I have been married before (military wedding with 2 friends attending 16 years ago that cost $302.00 total) this is in fact my first real wedding, and yes, I want something a bit more than a courthouse ceremony.

We have a combined family of 4 kids and of course, cost and budget are important. I have a huge family as well. We are planning a Nov 14th fall wedding on the Suwannee River (my parents’ front yard overlooks the water and is beautiful).

I do not want a huge wedding with a strapless princess dress (which would have been great when I was a size 2 and 21 years old). But 3 kids later, it just seems like I am pretending to be younger than I am.

Anyone out there have any suggestions regarding simple, elegant gowns and wedding ideas?
