Dear Married,
If you are married, you are married. Unless you divorce your husband you cannot marry him again.
Those who are telling you that you shouldn't host a wedding for yourself are correct and just trying to keep you from embarrassing yourself. We have a number of posts similar to yours that you can find exactly this same information.
A wedding is considered a gift giving event, whereas a vow renewal is not. So, if you hosting a wedding-like event, it may appear as if you just wanted to dress up for the day and receive gifts. Sounds great, but it is not received well by others.
A vow renewal is viewed positively in most cases if some considerations are followed. It should not mirror a wedding. This ceremony can be very special and a reception-like party can follow it. Please read more about vow renewals.
married by a judge, later having wedding
