Renewing Vows And What To Consider Before Saying I Do - Again
Renewing vows has its many purposes, therefore exactly what and who they are for is the big question
. For many people celebrating their renewal vows, it may be done on important dates in the couple's life, such as their 10th or 25th wedding anniversary. After all, in today's society, many marriages don't reach these significant milestones.
In addition, many couples also want to celebrate the moment as if to say, "Look at us, we defied the odds" as they proclaim their love to the world. Don't have a renewal vow ceremony just because you feel like you should and don't think you have to put a lot of time and effort in to it. A renewal vow ceremony is very simple, sweet and could take place in the comfort of your own backyard with close family and friends. However, is it really for you?
Reasons to have a Renewal Vow Ceremony
- You want to re-proclaim your love in front of your family and friends, as well as reaffirm your commitment to one another.
- Your first wedding may have had something go awry in one way or another, such as your pictures, therefore allowing you the opportunity for a do over.
- Perhaps when you first got married you were on a very tight budget. This may be an opportunity for you to redo your wedding so that you can finally have the wedding of your dreams.
- At your original wedding some may not have been able to attend, or people that you have met since, now have the chance to be there to celebrate with you.
- The relationship between you and your spouse may have gone through a lot of hard times and although you both have gotten through it together, you would like to reaffirm your love and commitment to one another so that you can have a fresh start together.
- You got married at the court house and now you would like to have a more religious ceremony.
- It would add more spark of romance in your life. In addition, if you have children it would be nice to involve them in the renewal ceremony so that they can see your love for one another.
Reasons to Not have a Renewal Vow Ceremony
- You believe that your marriage may be failing and think that this might bring you closer together as a reminder as to why you got married in the first place. While at first glance this might not seem like a bad reason to renew your vows, but if you have children you may be giving them a false sense of hope. The last thing you want is to put all this time and energy in to something that is in essence, just a band-aid for what you might need such as counseling together.
- For one reason or another, you are just in the mood to throw a party. A vow renewal ceremony is to be taken seriously and not just another party.
- You want to outdo somebody else's renewal service so that everyone will talk about you. This should be a special moment between you and your spouse and while it may be less formal, it still carries a lot of meaning behind it and often people can tell when you're being pretentious.
Do's and Don'ts for your Renewal Vow Service
When planning your ceremony remember that a renewal service is less formal and is not the same as an actual wedding. Therefore, consider a few things that you should not include, such as a gift registry, bridal shower, maid of honor or best man, pre-wedding parties like a bachelor or bachelorette, and a tiered wedding cake. At your renewal ceremony you should write your own vows, keep it simple and casual, have a toast, a no-gift reception, a floral bouquet and have your rings either engraved with the date or blessed, as there is no need to buy new rings.
A renewal vow ceremony is not a legal ceremony, which would allow you to have anyone you want to officiate your renewal vows. Perhaps a close friend, who has been with you and your spouse since the beginning and has seen your relationship grow and change. Another option would be to have one of your children perform the ceremony, after all they know you best while growing up watching you and learning from your examples of what a relationship should be. The renewal of your wedding vows can be full of meaning and touch all the people that mean the most to you throughout your life.
