Renewal of Vows


			CelebrationCeremonies.com is designed to help couples who wish to be married in Australia understand the legal obligations and the design opportunities available with an experienced Civil Marriage Celebrant.

"Through ceremonies we express feelings that we can never quite express in any other way. All peoples hold ceremonies to celebrate the most important events of life."

By renewing your marriage vows you are first of all speaking:

to each other . . . . . and then
to all the family & friends you invite to share the ceremony with you.

Some couples choose to re-enact as closely as possible what happened on their actual wedding day. This is a type of re-affirmation when you say to each other:

"Everything that I said at our wedding I mean in the same way today. I still love you as much and I renew my promises to you."

Some couples believe that they have progressed in their relationship or that something has changed that makes them want to make this occasion something different from their wedding day. They choose to make new promises that express more appropriately their developed relationship now. These couples are saying to each other:

"I love you differently to the way I loved you on our wedding day, but I want you to know that my commitment to you is just as strong and maye even stronger than it ever was, because of what we have shared together."

Your Renewal of Marriage Vows ceremony can be formal or very relaxed, but its most important attribute is to express what the two of you want to say about your relationship now.

Here are some suggestions to help you prepare:

Talk together about what you would like to express to each other and to your friends through your Renewal of Marriage Vows ceremony. (This discussion will increase the personal value of your ceremony).
Consider whether you want to repeat the same vows, or something different. (The celebrant will suggest some alternative vows for you to use if you wish, or help you to write some.)
Consider whether you want others to take part in the ceremony with you. (Your original attendants, or your family members, or someone entirely different).
