When it seems today that so many marriages are ending in divorce, and so many couples seem to be losing their dedication to one another, a couple who is determined to stay together through thick and thin is something to be celebrated.  Many couples demonstrate their dedication to one another through ceremonies for renewing wedding vows.  If you are wanting to have a ceremony meant for renewing your wedding vows, understand that you don’t need to plan another full wedding. Renewing wedding vows is a time of celebration between family and close friends, and can be as casual and personal as you want it to be.  Many couples renewing their wedding vows are doing so to celebrate an anniversary, or perhaps after they have come out of a difficult time in their marriage, such as a period of separation or overcoming a serious illness. Renewing wedding vows after an event like this is truly something to be celebrated. So, if you are planning on renewing wedding vows, then here are some great tips and ideas to use to make your day perfect.

Renewing Wedding Vows with Family

One thing many couples renewing wedding vows want to focus on is their family. So be sure to make your children and/or grandchildren have a part in the ceremony. You can do this in several ways. Have your children be bridesmaids or groomsmen, or have them participate with you in the unity candle. Have your grandchildren be a flower girl or ring bearer, or ask them to perform a little song during the ceremony. You can include a recent family portrait in your invitations, or transform a favorite picture from a child or grandchild into your invitation. Renewing wedding vows is a touching time for your family, so be sure to give them some sort of role in your ceremony.

Renewing Wedding Vows

For couples renewing wedding vows,  the vows you say can be anything you like. You can say the vows that you said at your wedding, or you can write your own vows to let the other know just how dedicated you still are to them.  Many couples renewing wedding vows choose to write their own vows, as they have something special and heartfelt to tell their spouse. Talk about how much your love has grown over the years, how they have made you a better person, and how much you love them today. Spend time on your wedding vows, because after all – renewing wedding vows is the whole reason for the ceremony.

Renewing Wedding Vows – Remembering Your Wedding

One thing many couples renewing wedding vows like to do is to bring into remembrance their first wedding. You can do this by displaying photographs of your first wedding, or re-creating the wedding cake or bridal bouquet that you carried. If you can, invite the same pastor you had do the ceremony to officiate the ceremony for your vow renewal. Another idea is to go on a second honeymoon, maybe to the same place you went before.

Wedding vows have traditionally been a part of weddings for as far back as I can find. They are the most important part of a wedding ceremony, and for the most part remain about the same as they have always been. Now, some people are choosing to write their own wedding vows today, and there really is nothing wrong with that at all. In my opinion, humble though it is, you do still need to have wedding vows. I’ll explain my position on the subject, as well as looking back into tradition on why it was added to wedding ceremonies in the first place. Then, hopefully, you’ll understand my position on the subject, and choose to have wedding vows be a part of your wedding ceremony.

First of all I’ll let you know my stance on the subject. My opinion is that too many people get married today because they want to have a wedding. They’re not prepared for the marriage after, just the fun of being able to throw a wedding. Don’t get me wrong, weddings are fun, they’re meant to be fun. Friends and family coming together to celebrate the love that two people have, and the pledge that they are making to each other in marriage, its great! But then, when things get hard, more often than not, the couple runs away, abandoning the vows that they have made to each other. It’s a shame, and in my opinion, happening far more than necessary today.

Traditionally speaking, wedding vows are a pledge that the bride and groom make before God as well as their friends and family. A vow before God is the most sacred vow that any person can make, and demonstrates the seriousness of the bride and groom in their dedication to each other, and it’s not to be taken lightly. It is a declaration of their eternal love for each other, and pledges that no matter what, they will stand together to face the trials that life will ultimately bring them through. It is a sacred vow, expressing the entrance into a covenant relationship. However, the Biblical view of marriage is a lifelong commitment, ending only through death, or adultery if the situation arises.

There is no set of Biblical wedding vows which every couple must use. In years past, in order to demonstrate this lifelong commitment couples have for each other, through any and all adversities, is the origin of the “in sickness and in health” vows that are so oft repeated in wedding vows.

First and foremost, I am a Christian, and when I was planning my wedding, I wanted my wedding and wedding vows to reflect my beliefs and the eternal vows that I was making to my husband. That was why my husband and I chose not to write my own vows, but instead to use the tried and true vows which couples have been making to each other before God for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Christian wedding vows promise love and support through every situation throughout your life, until death do you part. Below are the vows my husband and I recited to each other, along with two other samples of some great Christian wedding vows.
