My husband and I are planning a vow renewal ceremony for next year. The entire day will be at a banquet hall with only close friends and family. I am wearing a simple dress with no train, but it is an informal wedding dress. We would like our brothers and sisters to stand with us and our children to walk with us. We have been married for 10 years next year and have made it through 3 seperations to find each others love again. We do not want it to look like a wedding (hence the informal dress). But would still like to include our brothers and sisters and children in the ceremony. Please help.

Re: [mklein5479] Including Family members in the Vow Renewal
[In reply to]
You have the basic concepts correct - you don't want the vow renewal to appear as a wedding. However, by wearing a dress that could be worn as a wedding dress and by having attendants this could mirror a wedding ceremony. Consider selecting a dress that matches the formality of your event (time of day and location helps determine formality). There aren't usually attendants for a vow renewal ceremony (unless you are re-creating the original ceremony) and you will not need witnesses. No worries - you can still include your children and your family members. Unity Candle Ceremony - This special ceremony allows all of the family members to be involved by lighting a candle and playing significant music. Again, the ceremony can be adapted for a vow renewal.
