walking down the aisle for a vow renewal.

Hubby and I are celebrating our 10 year with a vow renewal. It will be a mostly standing room event outside (with some seating for grandparents). I'm not sure how to go about the procession. It's just me, DH and the kids as attendents. I don't really want to walk down an aisle on my own. Any suggestions?

    you should have seats for everyone. 

    If you don't want to walk by yourself, why don't you walk down with your children....or you and DH can walk down together.

    You can walk with your kids, or you and your DH can walk together.  Or, don't even have a processional, just you and your DH come together and get started.

    You also need to make sure every butt in attendance has a seat to put it in.  Not negotiable. This issue is WAY bigger than the processional.

    Take it how you want. I stated I was on it. Nothing more needed to be said. I'm sorry I didn't make a big deal over it (i'm really NOT sorry). I don't think it would be a big deal to ask my church if I can take some seats outside. I'll deal with it. Don't get your grannies in a bunch. Kthxbai.

    And I took that help and applied it. Hey I have an idea! If you can't argue about the subject at hand let us resort to insults! THAT is mature! Thanks for reminding me why I hate wedding boards. Full of catty, mean women just looking to argue.

    Nope, I hate wedding boards because you threw a tantrum over me accepting the advice on my seating. I will have seating. Issue-DONE

    Kthnxbai...??? I think I grew up before that one really hit... I'm 25... How bizarre...
    So, maybe things don't always go as planned... Maybe that's okay. I may be alone for now, but my baby boy is on his way, and I wouldn't change a thing.

    Threads like this make me wonder why people ask questions for other people to respond to.

    If you can't deal with how other human beings (i.e. unpredictable, uncontrollable people) are going to respond to your request for advice, maybe save it for google. Wink

    The last VR I went to had no attendants and the woman just walked with her DH down the aisle.  The couple's parents, siblings, and children were seated in the first few rows.

    Yeah, that's the thing, is you don't get to make that call. A discussion ends when the people having it stop having it.

    Plus also, she pointed out she didn't see your response until after she had replied. So, if you hadn't reacted to snarkily, enraged emotican and all, then the discussion likely would have fizzled.

    CAT Id like to hear more about your vow renewal.  Just because I'm a lurker and I'm curious.  Was there something that happened that made you want to renew your vows?  Are you having a reception of some sort?  I've never been to one before and though I've read countless threads on them, never really "got" it.

    ETA: re-read and that's a little Edie-ish with all the questions....Ack... haha. Im seriously curious.

    I think sometimes people do them for big anniversaries even if nothing dramatic happened to drive the couple apart and then pull them back together. I've never been to one, but I don't think they're uncommon. Not sure, though.

    For my parents' 40th anniversary, they had a vow renewal.  The "processional" was my parents walking down the aisle together, holding hands.  It was NBD.

    Also, I've been married 10 years this year.  I'm 31.  It scares me that OP could be my age.

    How many children do you have, CATsAngel? I'm planning a vow renewal and am tossing around ideas, too.

    Just an update, I had seating for everyone, hubby and I walked down together with the kiddos proceeding us. To answer questions I have 2 children and they stood up with us. The reasons we had the renewal were we were purchasing rings. I had never had one and we are finally in a place to purchase one, he got an upgrade so we wanted them blessed, it happened d to be near our 10year anniversary so we just took our anniversary party and decidedto toss in a ceremony. we have different beliefs now and had a pagan ceremony and it happened to fall on a harvest moon. It was a beautiful and wonderful day. Renewing our vows meant so much more this time and I reccomend everyone do it!
