Renewing your vows is a fantastic way to celebrate your love and marriage.
If anyone should be planning a vow renewal here are some pointers for you.
It’s not a legal ceremony so you don’t need a civil state officer or a Priest to preside.
If the Civil State officer or the priest who performed your wedding is available, ask him or her to preside.
Other options can also be a close friend, relative or one of your children, or the best man or maid of honour from your wedding.
The ceremony can be customized to your personal specifications and you can choose your readings and musical selections.
The ideal is to write new vows on your current feelings
and years together and exchange rings.
You can wear your original wedding dress (kudos if it
still fits!) and ask your husband to wear the same style tuxedo he wore on your
wedding day.
The alternative is to choose a floor-length evening
dress in white, ivory, platinum or any pastel colour, a cocktail dress or
beautiful dinner suit.
If the venue is more casual like a beach or backyard,
then you can dress accordingly (sundress or long, flowing skirt and top for you
and khaki or pants and a blazer for your husband).
Ask your children to be in the bridal party, do
readings, write a letter or poem, sing or play an instrument and give them
special gifts to commemorate the day.
A vow renewal is a time to gather family and friends to
celebrate the love and commitment that you and your husband share.
It’s not an occasion for gift giving, although some of
your guests may opt to bring one.
Congratulations on finding or choosing to celebrate love
again.
