Wedding Blushers
Is it inappropriate to wear a veil for my wedding vow renewal ceremony?
My husband and I are planning on renewing our vows for our 5 year anniversary (April 08′).
We were married at the courthouse because my husband was in the military and getting ready to ship out for a year so we had no time to plan a wedding.
We are renewing our vows to reaffirm our love for one another and be able to involve our family and friends.
I want the wedding that I have always dreamed of and I want to wear a simple veil (no blusher). My family says that it is ok because it is my day, but my friend feels that it is inappropriate.
I will also like suggestions on how to involve our 5 children in the ceremony. The boys will be ages 7,4,and 3. The girls will be 5 and 1.
I would also like to know if it will be ok to have attendants or not.
I want to wear a simple wedding gown with a small train.
I’m sorry, but You are already married, dear. Wedding gowns, attendants and veils are not appropriate when you are already married. You don’t have a wedding when you already have a wedding ring on your hand…even though you never got the “wedding you always dreamed of”. It will look like a foolish mockery if you go through a mock wedding, when you are parents to 5 children together, and have been married for years.
Vows never expire, and they do not need to be renewed. When it comes down to it, a Vow Renewal is an Anniversary party, where you express in front of your friends and family how important your husband is to you, and you pledge your continued faithfulness and love to your husband and family.
Have a big, beautiful anniversary party with all of your closest family and friends. Wear a nice dress (NOT a wedding gown or veil), have your husband wear a nice suit (not a tux)…Have a great meal, maybe drinks, music…at some point during dinner or before, you and your husband can take turns reading a speech to each other…vows you have written yourselves. You do not need an officient…this is just a reaffirming of your love, before your family and friends.
If you want to include your children, you can also say some words to them…maybe give them tokens of your love, just like you and your husband have rings from each other. But, there is no processional, no pomp and circumstance.
Please reconsider putting on a fake wedding…All of your guests already know you are married, and many people would not even attend, if they received a wedding invitation from a couple already married with children. Your Vow Renewal/Anniversary party should honor your marriage, not make it into a theatrical reinactment.
