Vow Renewals...what would you do?

I think it is a wonderful idea. Especially since you guys went through a rough patch. Renewing vows would be a good way of recommitting yourselves to each other. My husband and I are planning to renew our vows on our 5Th anniversary. But for us it's because when we originally got married we didn't have the money to have a big wedding like we wanted to. We just had a little backyard wedding with just family and close friends. So, we have started saving money to have a big traditional wedding when we renew our vows on our 5th anniversary. I wish you the best of luck and hope everything turns out the way you want it to.

Me and my husband in 3 years are having our 5 year wedding anniversary when we will do our wedding renewal. We are just having family and close friends, its a lot cheaper because you can have what ever you want with out the fuss of getting a liences and stuff for the wedding. Our daughter is going to be our flower girl. We are having now our second child so I don't know if we having a boy or girl yet. But if a boy a little ring bear if a girl I'll have two flower girls. I'm planing on a small cake for me and my husband and cupcakes for everyone else. I think I'm going to make them. Pick something around where we live to hold the wedding again. Have a close friend or family member do a speech for the wedding renewal. Have a little pot lock going on. Me and my husband before our 1 year anniversary we had our daughter. Now after our second wedding anniversary we are having our second one.

Sounds really good. I have no other suggestions, as the previous responders have said it all, so I would just like to wish you good luck on this, if you do decide to proceed with it. More happy years for the both of you and best wishes!

When I got married most of my family could not attend our wedding because my uncle had been terminally ill at the time and as much as my family loves me they needed to be there for my uncle. When we renew our vows (we are hoping next year) we want to make it a bigger wedding so my family can attend. I still want a backyard reception and find someone who will come to the house and marry us, but I just want more people to be able to attend. I think it is great that your husband wants to renew your vows. I would do something small and have a party afterwards. I would also try to involve your child in the wedding.

Well I am not yet married so I can't say the final decision. But when it comes to renewal of vows then as much as possible I would ask to have mass for us then we must be blessed. It does not have to become having a big party but at least we can celebrate our marriage and value the importance of love in our relationship.

My husband and I did a quick court house wedding when we found out that we would not be able to live together in Japan through our company housing if we were not married. When we got back from living abroad for a year, I planned the "real" wedding. It was a modified ceremony as we were actually already married. We re-wrote our vows and had the big reception that we did not have the first time around. We each had had an apartment before we moved across the globe, so we registered for things we wanted, because we did not need that much stuff. We got all new camping gear which was nice. We were married almost 8 years ago, with the vow renewal 6 years ago.

I want my husband and I to renew our vows. I actually want a bigger wedding for it because the first time we got married we just had 8 people there with no reception at all. I want better than that the second time around. We also had almost no pictures or anything. It makes me sad. I think renewing your vows would be good. For you it would be a new beginning, a fresh start. =)
