Vow Renewals
If you’re looking for a way to celebrate your marriage and do something to recommit to your partner, a vow renewal ceremony might be just what you’re looking for. Vow renewals aren’t meant to be a second wedding, and they aren’t a requirement. Instead, they’re something you and your partner can do alone, or with a small group of family members and friends. If you’re curious about vow renewal ceremonies and are considering one, read on to see if a romantic getaway may be right. Discover the answers to some commonly asked questions about vow renewals.
What are vow renewal ceremonies and why do people have them?
While your wedding should only be what you and your partner want it to be… the truth is that there are many external pressures that can influence the schedule of your wedding or certain aspects of the day. Even if you’re happy to include unusual family traditions or important cultural elements, there are many aspects of a wedding day that are about your guests as well as yourself. Alternatively, you may have had a smaller wedding than you wanted to have, or you may have eloped to save money. While there’s nothing wrong with either of those scenarios, many couples participate in vow renewal ceremonies a few years after their wedding for several reasons.
Firstly, many couples choose to have a vow renewal ceremony to commemorate how they have changed as individuals and grown together as a couple over time. In that same vein, some couples will choose to hold a vow renewal ceremony as a way to celebrate a milestone anniversary.
How do vow renewals work?
When you decide that you want to renew your vows, you can have fun proposing the idea to your partner. While there’s nothing wrong with simply asking the question, some couples might find the idea of another proposal exciting. You can go on a special date and pop the question over dessert, or surprise your husband or wife with flowers and a ring if that’s what fits your marriage. The best thing about vow renewals is that there are no rules – it’s about celebrating your relationship.
You can decide to invite your friends and family and have a sit-down ceremony with an aisle to walk down and vows read in front of everyone. Alternatively, you can decide to set up a small ceremony in a National Park or a beautiful outdoor viewpoint without any guests. You can decide to have a bachelor or bachelorette party before the big day and you can have a reception with food and dancing if you’d like to include your friends and family.
Where should vow renewals be held?
You can have your vow renewal ceremony in your backyard or in a small banquet hall or church that you and your partner attend. You can also have an exciting destination vow renewal ceremony by heading to All Inclusive resorts on a tropical Caribbean island or another destination you’ve always wanted to visit.
No matter what you choose to do, a vow renewal ceremony is about you and your partner and the love you share!
