Sort of a strange question, but I really need advice.
My husband and I got married may 2005. We had a nice, formal wedding with 80 of our closest friends and family. It would have been perfect! Tragically, our best friend and best man committed suicide the night before our wedding. When he didn't show up for the rehearsal dinner, things went from happy to "oh my god- where is he.. what happened to him". So, when I was going down the aisle, I was just looking to see if he was up at the alter and made it there.. when I saw he wasn't there, I knew what happened. Of course, it goes without saying that this cast a huge black cloud over our wedding day and honeymoon. We can't even look at our wedding album, because although my husband and I are so in love, we just think about our best friend dying. Would it be appropriate to renew our vows as sort of a "redo"?

Dear Very Sad Wedding,
Even if you renewed your vows you would be thinking back to that day. There will be that connection.
But, vow renewals are performed often and are common. This cannot be another wedding though. There are differences. Please read more about vow renewals.
