My husband and I were originally married at the courthouse under some pretty sad circumstances I would like to do something special for our 20 year anniversary. We are renewing our vows next year. Since having my Dad walk me down the aisle is not considered good etiquette for a vow renewal, and this is something that I dearly missed having done, are there any suggestions on how I can include him in the ceremony and get the same satisfaction as having him walk me down the aisle? Same question regarding father/daughter dance. I am still his daughter, why wouldn't it be appropriate to have a special dance for us?
The father/daughter dance is supposed to be his last dance with his little girl before she is living as a wife. So, this just doesn't make sense for a woman who has been married for so long. However, since this isn't a wedding, you could create your own special element. He could stand and offer a few words on how you two have been a wonderful couple over the years during the ceremony or reception. Or, he could even be your officiant, unless you are having your marriage blessed by the church.
Walking down the aisle isn't necessary either. So, you could eliminate it.
