Whether a reaffirmation of the party you couldn't afford when starting out, vow renewal is a glorious celebration of continued commitment. One of the most wonderful and joyful of all ceremonies that I have the pleasure to participate in is a vow renewal ceremony. Basically, a vow renewal is a ceremony in which an already married couple re-affirms their love for one another and their commitment to their marriage by either repeating their original wedding vows, or by writing new vows to reflect their relationship as it currently is. There are two basic reasons for having a vow renewal ceremony. First, a renewal is held on a significant anniversary (10, 20, 25, or 50, for example), as part of the anniversary celebration. These ceremonies are often a celebration of a marriage that works. Second, gaining in popularity among couples, is a formal renewal ceremony following a civil wedding ceremony or elopement. For some couples, this is the opportunity to have their commitment to one another blessed by the church and/or witnessed/celebrated by their family and friends. By taking a special day to honor your Marriage, you are commemorating and celebrating your time together; calling to mind the memories and family you've created together; and rejoicing in the laughter you've shared; while treasuring the secrets you've gathered. It is a blessing that the joy of Matrimony has given you both a past and a future. The Vow Renewal Ceremony is to embrace that past, while anticipating your future.
