They were more than OK with that especially since it was her second marriage and my third.
Our original plan was to have Lynx, who is a minister, performed the nuptials in Tennessee (we live in Florida) but when he graciously declined we quickly changed our plans. It was sort of like an elopement. We both knew what we wanted, had prayed about this, and also had an extensive pre-marital counseling which showed that we were very compatible with each other. We got married on Thanksgiving Day in 2014 and have not looked back since.
When my younger brother was planning to get married a second time a few years after his divorce he invited me to attend. The thing was that the date scheduled was during a very busy period in my place of employment and that I didn't want to miss any work. So I made him a deal. I would not be attending his second wedding but I promise to attend his third. I keep that promise a few years later.
I believe that any wedding arrangements are really for the bride and not the groom, especially if it is her first (and hopefully only) wedding. I made a deal with my soon to be wife too, she would consent to be married in Las Vegas if I would drop my insistence that of having Elvis officiating at the Little Wedding Chapel. It all worked out in the end.
That Elvis thing would've been cool though.
