     Vow Renewal Date  

When my husband and I got married...I planned it in 2 weeks because after 6 years of being together we found out we were going to have a baby. He did not really propose with a ring as it was a little surprise and I wanted a wedding before I was showing. Well he got down on one knee with a ring on Christmas evening that just passed and asked me to be his bride again. We had talked about renewing last year, but my grandmother got sick and passed away last year which was 10 years for us. My question is do I need to plan the renewal of our vows for the same date as the 1st wedding?

Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you!

I have 2 more questions.
  1. I really want my friends and family to be there, but I keep reading that a big event is inappropriate. But many of the family and some friends...well really did not think we would make it. I want EVERYONE to see how much we love each other and have them all there to celebrate this moment in our lives. Is it really bad?
  2. I don't want to wear my original wedding dress, but my husband was kind of bumed when I said that. I really should not wear it correct? I should get something nice, but not as formal, Right?


THANKS AGAIN!!

Dear Renewing,

No, it isn't a bad thing to host a large event. It is just questionable to create a wedding like event. Invite them all.

You can wear your original gown--definitely. That is the only wedding gown that is appropriate.

You may want to inform your guests that this is your original gown in some way.

No worries. It sounds like you are doing your reading. So, this should be a very nice event.

Best wishes,

How would you suggest making it a renewal event, but not a wedding?


With this do you mean just in the way I announce it or the way it is preformed?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Both. The ceremony is markedly different from a wedding. Please read about vow renewal etiquette in this article. And, you would be inviting your guests to a vow renewal ceremony. So, please read vow renewal invitations. Just click on each of these highlighted phrases.
