renewing vows at 10 yr mark

tsmccoy03

My DH and I got married at a county court house, he was in the military at the time, and well it is difficult to really prepare a wedding ceremony when uncle sam can call them at any time so we got married vowing to have our ceremony at our 5 yr mark. Well it was difficult, due to us having 2 kids back to back and at our 5 yr mark gave birth to our daughter and well didn't want to have it with baby phat *LOL*

we finally decided to do it on our 10 year have a black and white wedding, yet alot of people think we are nuts and that we should just be happy that we are married.  Realized i missed out on this experience and something to pass down to my daughter i think i am doing the right thing.  just want to recommit to the marriage, but is it wrong?

It's certainly not wrong.  The only thing to realize is that with a regular wedding, people are celebrating the fact that you are just getting married.  If you have a vow renewal 10 years after you got married, people may not make attendance as much of a priority.  However, if the two of you want it, that's all that matters.

I did the same thing..i've been married now for 5 yr, we have always planned to but at the time we could have a expensive wedding. So I'm focusing more on the reception because all of my family member ask hey when is your reception lol. It will be a short ceremony for us. I will not have a shower, bachelorettes, or registries. It doesn't matter about attendance, it's just about you and your husband. Don't worry about attendance! The people that care will be there
