Vow Renewals

Vow Renewal Ceremonies

At a time when divorce rates seem to be going up, any marriage that lasts deserves to be celebrated. What better way to allow others to share the love the two of you have for each other than to renew your wedding vows? It is also a very special way to tell your spouse that even after all these years, "You would do it all over again."

Vow renewals can be great fun because they can be designed anyway you want them to be. Typically, the renewal ceremony is more intimate and less formal than a wedding ceremony, however, there are no rules when it comes to this kind of ceremony.  Your renewal ceremony should be exactly the way you want it to be. 

Some people want to try to completely recreate their original wedding. Others want to have the wedding celebration they were unable to have the first time.  You may want to choose to speak some new promises to each other.  The ceremony can be as formal or casual as you want it to be.  There is no correct or incorrect way of doing a vow renewal, but vow renewals should be designed to bring new life to a marriage.

Vow renewals are a wonderful example to set for your children and grandchildren. What can be more beautiful than children watching their parents joining hands and hearts as they affirm the strength of they enduring love? What greater life/love lesson can you share with them?
