Resource and Help Page
My name is Shelley Nash and I started this page because I saw a need to compile the wonderful wisdom and experience from the brides on The Knot's Second Weddings Board. This page is NOT affiliated with The Knot in any way. It is simply intended to be of assistance to brides planning a wedding that is not their first. The information here will be of help to not only second-time brides, but also those planning weddings beyond the second as well.
My great thanks to the women on the Second Marriages Board who have done a lot of the work in compiling the following information.
Please be advised that all sections are still under construction!
