Love is a beautiful thing, no wonder couples who get married will often choose to re-commit or re-express their love for one another during a vow renewal ceremony some number of years down the line.
Marriage is not for boys or girls. It is for two mature people determined to make it work. So a vow renewal may not be out of place. In fact, it is like a fresh start for a married couple. Here is a rundown of why couples should renew their wedding vows:
1. To make up for the dream wedding you missed or couldn’t have then
Nearly every couple fantasizes about their big day – the gown, the cake, the guest list, the setting – but let’s face it, weddings are expensive! Maybe you and your spouse never got to have that dream ceremony because you were young and couldn’t afford it. Or perhaps something else hindered you from having an actual wedding. It is never too late. In fact, renewing your vows may even be better than an original wedding ceremony because you have had time to learn what really matters.
2. Wedding anniversary milestones should be celebrated
It could be five, ten, twenty, thirty, or more years together. Anything you manage to succeed in for a long period of time is a milestone that is worth celebrating especially now that divorce is quite common these days.
3. You can celebrate with your children
Your children are the most important people in your life, and you want them to share this special moment with you. But most couples choose to get married before they have children, or when their daughters and sons are still young. Now that your kids are old enough to comprehend the love you have for one another, you want to show them what it looks like and include them in the wedding ceremony.
4. You can get creative and do something spontaneous
Spontaneity is fun. You had your traditional wedding ceremony, but now that you are older, you should do something out-of-the-ordinary. Going somewhere you have never been before would not be a bad idea. Maybe you both have an itch for adventure. Renewing your vows is the perfect excuse to go on a new journey together.
5. Reignite your love for your partner
Your wedding may have been several years ago, and we all know that the older we get, the harder it is to remember such events. Holding a vow renewal ceremony can not only refresh your memory but will also reignite your feelings and remind you of how you felt on that day many years ago.
