This is one of my ceremonies provided as a Christian Marriage Celebrant. Unlike marriages, Reaffirmation of Vow ceremonies don’t require legal documents.
There is also no requirement for a married couples to renew their vows. But married couples often say that they have arrived at a time in their relationship where it’s personally important to them. They want to reaffirm their love and commitment to each other for the rest of their lives. Often, couples choose to do this at a time when the kids have all grown up and left home. So now the couple is reassessing their future. Here are some of the best reasons I’ve been told by couples why they want to reaffirm their vows:
- It may be a Milestone Anniversary that has seen this couples successful marriage last 10, 20, perhaps even 50 years. They want to celebrate their relationship with their closest friends and family.
- A couple were under financial pressure when they got married and couldn’t afford to celebrate in the way they would have liked. Now that they are financially in a healthier position, they can celebrate in the way they want.
- Some couples are simply grateful to have found someone who has been able to share true love with them through the years. They love each other more and more with every passing day, recognize how unusual that is and renew vows to acknowledge their happy and successful union.
- Often, a major health problem in the family, or a business failure can cause couples to look at life differently. Having been tested to the limit by the traumatic situation, they have discovered how strong and and deep their love is for one another. Therefore, they want to renew their vows to mark a new beginning to the rest of their lives together.
- Many couples love the fact that they can include their children and family members in these ceremonies who weren’t in attendance the first time around, or new friends who have become vital parts of their lives in their celebration of marriage.
- Even though it felt great at the time, an elopement has brought about a degree of regret that many important people in their lives weren’t present in celebrating their union. So they decide to renew their vows in order to bring together families and have a proper ceremony and gathering.
These are just some reasons why couples will choose to recommit to each other. Reaffirmation of Vows Ceremonies have certainly become more popular over the years. As long as two people are in it for the long haul, they can look forward to continuing a fantastic life together. Therefore, reaffirming your vows is a wonderful occasion for every one involved.
