Vow Renewals

We Still Do...

Vow Renewals are a way to celebrate your marriage and pay tribute to your ever-growing love. Perhaps you’ve made it to 2, 25 or 50 years together and you want the world to know you’d do it over again in a heartbeat. Maybe you want to reaffirm your commitment to each other after a rough period in your relationship. There’s no wrong reason to renew.

Often a partner will surprise their spouse with a vow renewal ceremony, meticulously planning it in secret with a celebrant. These are such joyous and romantic occasions to witness. It is one thing for young, idealistic partners to commit but another to see two people who have weathered life’s journey together re-affirm their love and passion for one another. They do this knowing each other inside-out and it often brings them back to the feelings they had on their wedding day, giving them a new sense of purpose and togetherness.
