We are renewing our vows

9 years ago we got married in Vegas, because this was our second marriage between the two of us.  Neither one of us are the "center of attention" types.  However, our children & family would like us to renew our vows next year.  Not a problem. Our daughters and a couple of his friends will be the "bridal party".  My question is, is it a need for me to walk down the aisle to him againSmile and do I need to register for gifts?  I have everything I want.  And we have always been the type that we are grateful for gifts that are given to us, we have a problem asking when we are already established.

    Just don't register and people won't buy from there.  However, you can't mandate for people to NOT give you gifts.  You'll probably get a few random things or cash. 

    The other stuff, well, that's a matter of personal taste, IMO. 

    Why 9 years and not 10?ETA: Duh, nm.  I just reread it.  You'll plan for next year.
  • Do not register or make any mention of gifts. If people choose to give them, that's fine, but the point of a registry is to help a new bride set up a home, and to have one now would appear gift grabby. The rest is up to you.
  • I wouldn't register.  I've been to one vow renewal for a 25th wedding anniversary and we bought an anniversary present, not a vow renewal present so I would have thought it odd to see a registry.

  • Ditto pp. Don't register since it is just a vow renewal. If people give you gifts, fine but otherwise you could appear gift grabby.
  • as far as walking down the aisle to him, you can do that since you got married in Vegas and did not get to have a processional. Or since you are already married, it may be sweet to walk together to the officiant as a "we are doing this together' kind of statement.

  • You can arrive at the officiant in whatever method suits you best.  Down the aisle solo or together are probably the two most popular choices. 

    And, don't register.  For all the reasons above.
