My husband popped the question again on my birthday. We had an informal wedding with the Justice of the Peace the first time because most of our families could not make it. Now after nearly eight years, we want to have a big blow out with both of our families there. However mine is mainly in the west and his is in Ohio. The good news: I have about two years to plan this. For which this brings out the creative Sagittarius in me.
What I need to know is:
A) What is the etiquette for renewing vows?
B) Do we need to have any paper work done (i.e. licenses, certificates etc...)?
C) Neither of us is very religious (we believe in God and that he has a sense of humor) so would it be in poor taste to have a reverend to perform the wedding or, have it done in an church? Please understand that most of our friends (& some of our family) would be afraid of being struck by lighting.
Any help would appreciated. Thanks.

I, too, understand the church side of it. Yes, you can still be married in a church for the formal effect. You just have to get permission to do so. You can find a justice that will marry you. You will not need anytype of paperwork, so thats one last thing you have to worry about. There is a website called www.gettingremarried.com. It may be of some help to you. Good luck and have fun!

Since you are already legally married you will not need a license or any official paperwork.
You do not have to be married in the church by a minister if you are not in that mindset. However, if you would LIKE to be married in the church, make an appointment to speak with a local minister who is of the same faith.
This is a purely personal decision though; not one that any etiquette can govern. Please have some serious discussion with your husband and with a minister to be sure this is what you both want. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
