 A renewal of wedding vows ceremony can be a meaningful, touching, and revitalizing ceremony for you, your family, and friends. It is a time to pause and reflect on where you have been and where you are going as a married couple. It is also a wonderful example to set for your children and grandchildren. Can you imagine a more beautiful scene than children watching their parents joining hands and hearts as they affirm the magnitude and strength of their enduring love? What greater life/love lesson is there to pass on to the next generation than that of “True love does not wither or die, it merely ripens.”
Anniversaries are especially appropriate times for renewing your commitment and love. Some couples choose to renew their vows after a particularly difficult crisis in their lives, such as the overcoming of a serious illness or a period of estrangement. Others simply want to reaffirm the tremendous love that has matured and deepened with the passing of years.
Vow renewal ceremonies can be as creative and personal as you want them to be. Couples may choose to walk down the aisle to classical music or walk out to their “special song”. They may also choose the cover of their invitation to feature a grandchild’s favorite drawing of Grandma and Poppy, or even their first wedding portrait. The ceremony should be less formal than a wedding , and can reflect the two of you in more casual and fun atmosphere.
