My husband and I have both been previously married . When we were planning our marriage together I found out I was pregnant with twins.I had already bought my wedding dress and I was going to be too far along to wear it.So we went to the j.p. It was a last minute decision, but we planned on having a wedding the next year so our friends and family could attend.Now this is going to be our two year anniversary and I want to have a big traditional wedding. His first wedding was huge but mine was not . Should I just forget this dream , I don't want it too seem improper. I would like to wear my original dress and have my dad walk me down the aisle with bridesmaids and groomsmen.Is two years too soon to renew your vows? Can I have a full blown traditional wedding without it being improper ?

Dear Proper etiquette,
No it is not too soon for a vow renewal. Even though it is acceptable, it might seem a bit strange to some of your guests watching your father walk you down the aisle, but this is your choice.

By all means, make your dream a reality!
If we give up our dreams, life becomes quite sad.
As a minister, I have done many vow renewals for couples who had full blown traditonal weddings the second time around. Sometimes they want a chance "to do it right". Sometimes they want to make it new. One couple decided to do this after having three children together. Hubby grumbled at first. However, after the wedding, he admitted to his wife (and me) that he had no idea how romantic it all would be.
At the end of your life, you only get to take two things with you: The amount of love you have generated, and your memories.

If this is your dream - how could it be improper? Talk it over together and decide just how you want to plan the day. Whether to go for the whole lot - or to tailor it to fit your family.
