Renewal of vows
There are times when a married
couple may feel it is appropriate to express and renew their
love and commitment. There are many reasons for a couple to
reaffirm their commitment to one another, one
would be to re-enact their wedding day with their old friends
and new friends, as well as family, and possibly
their children, to share their life, their history and love
story with their family in their latter years.
Re-affirmation or renewal of vows ceremonies are also suitable
for married couples to rekindle a serious marriage commitment
after a crisis or separation. Others would choose to have
the ceremony they have always dreamed of, that didn't
happen the first time around. Others, and this
would be the most common, would choose to reaffirm their
vows on the occasion of a milestone anniversary.
I will write a ceremony that is unique.
To do this, we need to have a meeting,
to allow me the chance to gather all the appropriate information
to prepare the ceremony.
There are no legal requirements for
a Renewal of Vows so no birth or marriage certificates are
required. The ceremony is usually very personal, it
is the tale of a couple's love and their commitment to see each
other through the rest of life's journey. In a time when
many couples are marrying later in life, or have been married
before, the ten, 15, and 20 year anniversaries are
becoming more popular as a way to tangibly remind each other of
your commitment to each other for the years to come.
