I  have thought for  many years I  would like to renew my vows  with VA since we had a very small wedding and did  not  have time for a bigger one.  I  miss all the pomp and circumstance and would  like to have fun with another wedding when we renew our vows.

Would you renew your vows?  If  you are unmarried is this something you would think of doing once you are married?  What do you feel the benefit would be?

Yes I would and in future, we plan to.

I think taking a second shot at a marriage ceremony is cool, only because the first one you are always out of your mind caught in a whirlwind, I felt like a pin ball just being bounced from here to there by my best mate.

So at a second chance or a renew or a re-do, I could atleast enjoy whats going on.

My husband just asked me if I wanted to do this last week, with a small party, on our 5th anniversary this fall.

I thought it was a lovely idea <3

Yes, I think we will probably do this in December for our 5 year.  We married quite soon after meeting so a lot of people were understandably sceptical.  I think a renewal ceremony could be quite meaningful now that we know each other a little better. :)

I would totally do this! I am a Libra Rising with Venus in the 7th and Jupiter in the 5th, I need to go ALL OUT when it comes to romance and love and partnership!

I would definitely renew my vows in the future. We're having a decent sized wedding, and there has been a fair share of bad behavior from relatives (is there ever a wedding without that?). For renewing, I'd keep it smaller, maybe even just the two of us, without all the hooplah.

To me the benefit would be remembering why you've chosen to be together. Life can get in the way sometimes, and it's nice to revisit and renew, and make the commitment all over again.

Haha dolce, our wedding was free from bad relatives behaviour solely because we did not invite -anybody-.  A couple close friends to witness and that was it.

For the renewal we'd likely invite some of the family, now that I don't have to listen to the long list of reasons it will never work out. ;-p

Nice Korellyn! My fiancee and I keep saying that next time we get married, we're eloping to Vegas :D

There's definitely something to be said for having a tiny wedding on short notice.  Sure it's not for everybody, but it worked for us!

We are in August.

We had a small courthouse wedding with only our family present. We made plans to go to Las Vegas, Zion, and the Grand Canyon this summer and decided to have an Elvis renewal while we are there. Our oldest child was at our first wedding, and this time both of the kids will get to be there. The oldest is really excited.

We've been through a lot in the last year and the wedding is mostly a fun diversion, but publically declaring your devotion to someone carries meaning.

I'm now on the hunt for a very Vegas cocktail dress to wear.

I like it.

I think vow renewals are awesome!  I don't know that I'd ever have one if I get married, too much Libra to decide *laughs*, but I'm definitely open to it.  :)

YAY for those having a renewal ceremony!!  :D

It's a beautiful idea :)  And a wonderful way to invite your family and friends to celebrate your marriage^^.

I've heard that it might be important to pick a positive astrological date for a vov reweal though.  The vow renewal is just as important as the original wedding day from an astrological perspective.  Just like a wedding date the vow renewal can affect the kinds of joys, challenges, and struggles a couple faces.

Apparently Heidi and Seal married on a very positive date astrologically.  Many of the planets were in taurus - the sign of stability.  But every year, on their anniversary they renewed their vows.  Apparently the last time they rewewed their vows it was a very poor date from a wedding astrology perspective.  One astrologer was saying that this could have contributed to major problems in the last year of their marriage.

I've also heard that there aren't many good days to get married over the next 5 or so years.  One astrologer suggestd that couples wanting to get married should pick the best of the bad and perhaps renew their vows in a few years later when there are better dates.

@Cecile - that's really interesting.

I always wanted to elope but instead had a ceremony complete w/ a bunch of family I didn't necessarily want there. 

If I did do a vow renewal, I would elope since that's what I'd wanted in the first place.
