What are Wedding Vow Renewals?
Amanda Wilcox • 1 March 2023
It’s possible to renew your wedding vows any time after your wedding day, regardless of whether you had a church wedding or not. It’s a bit like a marriage refresher and is often used on special anniversaries, or even after a period of difficulty in a marriage.
Rings can be blessed as part of this service too, either your existing wedding rings, or perhaps you have special rings, like eternity rings.
There are also many other personal reasons too. For example, you and your partner may have had children since your wedding and want to include them in your second ceremony.
“It’s heart-warming to see that many couples are reaffirming their commitment to one another, whether they have been married five years or five decades.
“Our research showed that for more than a third (35%) of couples, renewing their vows coincides with a milestone anniversary, and a quarter (27%) see this as an opportunity to have the wedding they always dreamed of but perhaps couldn’t afford the first time around.
