Renewing Your Wedding Vows

It is growing more and more popular to reaffirm your love for one and other. Renewing your wedding vows will show friends and family that you are still just as much in love as the day you first said “I do”.

Where can you renew your vows?

And the wonderful thing about renewing your wedding vows is you will be able to do this pretty much anywhere. Indoors, outside, even in your back garden if you like! There are no rules really to where you can do this. However, if it is a public place, such as a park, then you may need permission.

Who to invite

Many people decide to have a vow renewal abroad on a beach somewhere, just with close family and friends. And then a big party when they get home. Some like to keep it small and intimate and some couples see it as a great reason for a massive party. And on many occasions, most of the people you choose to have at your vow renewal will not be the original invitees at your original wedding. When you first get married, there is great pressure to invite certain people. You may also not now be in touch with many who celebrated with you the first time around. So renewing your vows will be a great opportunity to celebrate with exactly who you want to come!

Is this a legal ceremony?

Renewing your vows is not actually a legally binding ceremony. Which is why you can hold it where you want and have whoever you like to officiate. This can make it all the more special if you have a friend or close relative who would be the ideal choice. Or many couples book a celebrant – who can advise on writing your vows and other bits of information that may be useful. They are obviously used to standing in front of many people, which is an important part of it all, so choose wisely if you decide upon a family friend!

The ceremony can be religious, part-religious or non-religious. It can be held indoors or outdoors – there is no real limitation, as long as you have permission from your venue for whatever you decide to do. If perhaps you had a church wedding the first time around, then you may decide you would like to hold your vow renewal outside. Or you may want to recreate exactly how you originally celebrated your marriage. The choice is entirely yours.

Many couples will also now have their children in attendance – which is really lovely. You could always walk down the aisle, just the two of you. Or perhaps you will want all your children to accompany you. Every renewal is special and every one is different.

What to wear?

Whatever you like! You pick a theme; keep it casual, dress right up – the choice is yours. Pick a colour theme that you want people to adhere to, or just a splash of colour. You can really do exactly what you like – so many different options!
