The Renewal of Vows is also known as a Re-Affirmation Ceremony. There may be a considerable history to the relationship by the time a renewal of vows is decided upon. There may be even children of the partnership.

In crafting such a ceremony it can be very important to reflect the journey that the couple have been on since they met and committed to one another. You can also include your hopes for the future as a couple or as a family.

In making their vows some couples choose to re affirm their original vows. Others decide to re write their vows in celebration of who they are as a couple at present, and who they wish to be in the future.

A Renewal of Vows or Re-Affirmation Ceremony can also include a commemorative certificate. This can be signed by two witnesses at the event. Unlike legal marriage, people of any age even children could be the signatories at this ceremony.

A Renewal of Vows ceremony can be formatted similarly to a wedding ceremony or can have a unique structure as chosen by the couple.

You may wish to renew your vows as a celebration of the evolution of your relationship, or as a ceremony for people who were unable to attend your wedding. Whatever the reason, vow renewal ceremonies are a marvellous way to deepen your commitment to one another.
