So, in reading an older post from here, I decided to get some opinions from you ladies on how you would go about doing this. Please don't bash or be rude, opinions are fine but be nice.
Hubby and I met 2/23/2006. We started dating on 2/25/06. 6 months later, to the date we got married (8/25/06). We did so, because we loved each other. We had originally planned to wed so soon becuz we were pregnant with our first daughter and hubby wanted me to have his last name before she was born. My family refused to let us get married at a courthouse, becuz they wanted to celebrate too, so we planned a very small intimate wedding. on July 3rd 2006, we lost our daughter due to an illness. But, even throw that hubby had made up his mind. I told him to post-pone the wedding. He wanted to marry me.
I told him this was not how I wanted my wedding, but he wanted it done then and tehre, and so he promised me we would have a BIG, HUGE celebration just the way I had always wanted on our 10 year anniversary. His logic was, we would have a small, intimate ceremony and celebration when we initially got married, and once we proved to each other that we wanted to be married for the marriage and not the wedding, then we would fork out the money for a big celebration.
So, here we are 3 years and 9 months away from our 10 year wedding anniversary. Hubby has been talking to me some what about what the plan is becuase he is just as excited as I am to plan our "wedding re-do" as he is calling it. We both sat down and discussed what we wanted. None of our out of state relatives were invited to the first shindig. But, this time around we are inviting them all.
How would you go about planning this? Would you say "wedding re-do" or Vow Renewal? We plan to have a "wedding", with the ceremony and reception. I contacted the place we want to do it at and they are super excited to work with me, because they have never had this done before.
Just curous what you ladies thought.
