Heading to the altar for a second wedding?

When Beth Reed Ramirez, a sales and marketing professional who lives in Anaheim, Calif., was planning her second wedding, she had a difficult time finding information for women like her.

While there are hundreds of publication dedicated to brides and grooms, she says in here opening essay: "I discovered, much to my dismay, that they offered very little for the soon-to-be-40, not-a-size-6 encore bride like me," she writes in her magazine's opening essay.

Bride Again has photos of ladies in white and stories on fashion and beauty (such as "The Fountain of Youth" and "Ageless Beauty Tips"). But it also delves into etiquette, finance and legal issues. Can an encore bride-to-be have a shower if she had one for her first wedding? (Yes, says BA, but don't expect gifts from guests who were there the first time around.) Other deep dish: combining two households, writing your own pre-nups and considering the kids.
