Vow renewals should be personal, beautiful and commemorate the deepened love that you hold for each other. I can help you capture this love as part of a special celebrant ceremony.
Vow renewals which are lead by a celebrant will free you from many of the stresses involved with the organisation of your event. I can help create the structure of the ceremony, the re-dedication of rings and vows and make it completely personal to who you are now.
Why should I choose a celebrant to do our vow renewal?
Most couples choose to hire a celebrant for their vow renewal ceremony, to make the occasion more formal. During the ceremony you may choose to repeat the marriage vows you made to each other at your wedding, or you could opt to make new ones, if you are renewing vows many years later.
There are many reasons why a couple might decide to renew their wedding vows. It is a beautiful way to commemorate a love that has deepened or matured between a couple.
It might be a significant anniversary milestone of 25 years, 50 years or 60 years of marriage together. There are also other personal reasons to celebrate too; perhaps you have overcome a tough time and want to share this with your closest family and friends. Or it might be due to one partner suffering from illness and you wish to celebrate with immediate family.
What should be included in a vow renewal?
Vow renewals should be written with who are you are now in mind. You can renew your original vows or you can write new ones which reflect the landmarks of your life together; children, grandchildren, good times, not so good times, health, wealth and happiness.
Each vow renewal ceremony is unique to the couple, but one thing they all have in common is the desire to show the strength of their love for each other.
The vow renewal ceremony does not involve any legalities so how you choose to celebrate is entirely up to you. It can be as simple as close family and friends in your own garden to many guests in a venue of your choice.
Can members of the family or friends take part in vow renewals?
Yes absolutely. This is often what helps to show physically how your lives have changed and become more enriched since your wedding day. Children and grand-children can also play a part in the ceremony, as well as friends that have come into your life since you were first married. These new and important people may take the pressure off it being ‘all about you’.
Can we exchange rings or ‘bless’ our existing wedding rings?
Ceremonies can also involve a symbolic ritual known as ring-warming or ring blessing, where the rings are passed around and blessed by family and friends.
Remember that there are no strict rules, the ceremony is only limited by imagination – I am here to guide you to your perfect vow renewal ceremony.
