| The difference between a couple who have been together for a long time and someone renewing their vows is that you're already married and they are not! Getting married is a big deal. You've been there and done that, now you just want a ceremony/reception/dress. Do whatever you please with the ceremony, but it seems as if you're just renewing your vows for the sake of having a wedding. Maybe you should just have a party of some sort and and during the party, renew your vows to one another. That is what I have seen in renewal ceremonies. They usually mark a special anniversary for the couple, like 20th anniversary. Sorry you didn't have your wedding and you're having regrets. You can do as you please, but don't expect everyone to want to play along. I went to a wedding before when the couple had already tied the knot on December 31st for tax purposes. It's just not the same and seems kind of ridiculous to see them recite their vows when they were just recently married. There's just no magic to it. I started dating my fiancee when I was 16, got engaged at 21, and I'm not getting married until I'm 23 (out of school, career for a year). We will have been together for seven years, but I am having a big wedding because I am young, getting married, and starting a new life w/ the one I love. I think it is in poor taste. Definitely rethink it and quit trying to justify it (by the whole, couples who have been together a long time thing) wanting a full-blown wedding because you didn't have one three years ago. Do it for your 10th wedding anniversary, maybe. Not after just three years. |
