Each and every love story is unique, as are the people starring in it.
There are many reasons why a couple may decide on renewing their vows. We have put five of the most common ones together.
They (finally) want to have the wedding of their dreams:
Especially younger brides and grooms often have a very hard time having the wedding of their dreams. This may have to do with budget restrictions, meddling in-laws, having a ceremony that wasn’t organised by them, etc.
A vow renewal ceremony is the perfect opportunity for a couple to have the celebration their hearts desire. May it be in the middle of nature, a rooftop terrace overlooking their favourite city, or their own back garden – the options are endless!
Bringing together their blended family after eloping:
Some couples, especially when one or both of them already had had a big wedding, decide to elope. A vow renewal ceremony is a wonderful opportunity to bring together their blended family and celebrate their love for one another in a casual environment.
They overcame hardship and want to celebrate their love for one another:
Not all marriages are easy. Some couples overcome deeply personal struggles or even illnesses together and see a vow renewal ceremony as a fantastic opportunity to celebrate their love with the people closest to them.
They want to celebrate their love for one another with their children and grand-children:
In some families it is tradition to have a vow renewal ceremony to celebrate one’s love with the next generations.
They want to celebrate a special milestone wedding anniversary:
May it be the 5th, the 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 45th, 50th, 55th, 60th, 65th, 70th, 75th, 80th or even the 100th, a special wedding anniversary needs to be celebrated and big! What better way to get everyone together than by renewing their vows?
Reaffirming your commitment to one another is a wonderful way to celebrate your love, and also a fantastic excuse to have a party with the people closest to you!
