Vow renewal ideas?

Yes, that's right. I am already married, but it was a very quick courthouse trip with my cousin and  secretary from down the hall as our witnesses. We want to plan out a special ceremony/reception that we can include our family and friends in, and i was just wanting to get ideas. I would love to have a full blown "wedding" but I've heard thats not considered "proper" so I'm hoping you all have some ideas for us :)

    I know there doesn't seem to be much info on vow renewals, it's not a big industry at this time but I'm sure in a few more years it will be.

    It can be as lavish or as casual as your hearts desire.

    There are some couples that renew their vows every year with a party, look at Seal and Heidi Klum. They throw a themed anniversary party every year.

    With the growing rate of divorce and/or people who never commit. I think its a great idea to celebrate your marriage whenever, however you choose. If people disagree then they don't have to participate.

    So, I guess you have to decide what type of celebration you want! 

    P.S. Have you noticed how angry some happily married people respond? You would think their advance and comments would be much more constructive

    I have always thought of vow renewals as being done after several years of marriage, or after an extremely difficult time (like maybe the couple came close to separation/divorce, or faced some other faith shaking event). FBIL and his wife were planning to do one at 10 years and that was the earliest I'd ever heard of before seeing it pop up on the boards here. In these cases, if the couple wants to have a big or formal party and their budget allows it, I don't see why not. Of course I think it wod be strange if she wore a wedding dress or anything like that, but there's nothing wrong with having an upscale celebration. Also, I think in some cases an anniversary party would be more appropriate. I would side-eye if it was just because the original wedding wasn't satisfactory. ETA: I just realiEd RBI was a revived dead post. Dang it.
