Renewing your vows

Kirsty Heath on 19 June 2018
A wedding vow renewal ceremony is a ceremony in which a married couple renew or reaffirm their wedding vows. The ceremonies have been popular in Italy for decades and have existed in the United States since the 1950s, but it has only become popular there after the 1970s. Most take place in churches and are seen as a way for a married couple to renew their commitment to each other and demonstrate that the vows they took are still considered sacred.

To some couples the ceremony offers the chance to celebrate the wedding they never had. Renewal ceremonies often take on the characteristics of a Western "lavish wedding", with couples often setting out guest books, buying new weddings bands, and hiring photographers.

Some of the reasons couples hold a vow renewal include having passed through a difficult time in their relationship, celebrating a significant anniversary, or to have a religious ceremony if their original wedding had not been one. Renewal of vows packages can be created for just about anywhere - including on a cruise ship, and the after party arranged to suit the couple’s tastes, party size and budget. From an all-night disco to an a la carte meal I can arrange it all. If Champagne and Canapes are more your scene – that is no problem!
