Renewing
Wedding Vows and Special Anniversaries
Renewing wedding
vows can take place with a ceremony that is either formal or informal,
brief or elaborate, serious or light hearted. The ceremony can
be at home, a restaurant,
a park or even the place where you were married.
The ceremony
can be romantic and
private, that includes just the couple and the celebrant,
or it may be part a large party with the kids and relatives.
Couples who wish
to renew their wedding vows often chose to do so at the time of
a significant anniversary ,(10, 15, 20
years and beyond of marriage together ) or you may have
had a Registry Office Wedding and now would like to celebrant your
wedding with flair and glamour with family and friends. Also
you may want to celebrant an important
event such as recovering from a serious illness or in conjunction
with a special vacation or family reunion.
The renewing
vows can be
personalized, and other rituals may be included that particularly
recognise family and friends.
Milestone wedding
anniversaries such as a Silver or Golden Anniversary often have
a ceremony as the focal point of the celebration. Such a ceremony
may include renewing vows, tributes from family members and friends,
and the presentation of gifts.
A ceremony when
renewing wedding vows or celebrating a Gold or Silver Anniversary
gives a couple time to reflect on what the years have meant and
what they hope for in the future.
I include Certificates presented
to the couples and others at the end of the ceremony.
