Second Wedding questions

What do you think about a second wedding?
I'm divorced with a child. My bf has never been married. When we get married, should we just go for a small "chapel" wedding with no one there but family? Should we go to a justice of the peace just us? Should we have a regular wedding?
My mother thinks that there is no need for a regular wedding. I was just wondering what everyone's opinions were on it.

Hi!
Just wanted to say Welcome to the Board!
My dh and I had both been married before in grand weddings. We didn't want to do any of that again. We had a private ceremony in Colorado where we married ourselves on a hiking trail during a week vacation. We had a very small reception at a friends' home upon our return. It was EXACTLY what we wanted. His best friend pouted for months (seriously) that he wasn't there the day we married. His sister said over and over that she wished she could have shared in our special day and felt like she had been "excluded" (um, the only ones there were deer, squirrels, chipmunks, birds, and a fuzzy black caterpillar!). We had a friend that felt like she had been cheated out of helping to plan a huge shindig. NOW - had we HAD the huge shindig - people would have said it was ridiculous. We had both already had big weddings, we had been living together, we had a child together, blah, blah, blah ad nauseum.
Please yourself. Forget everyone else!
