Any married couple of any age and who have been married for any length of time can arrange a renewal of marriage vows ceremony. It does not matter if you do not live in the area where you want your ceremony.
Your unique ceremony
The ceremony itself is put together by you. Just as no two married couples are the same, no two renewal ceremonies will ever be the same. As you go through and select what you want your ceremony to contain, you will be creating a unique event that you and your guests will always remember. Take time to consider which options are appropriate and will have meaning to you both.
Renewal of vows ceremonies can contain the following sections:
- Introduction and welcome
- Acknowledgement of any children of the marriage
- Reading
- Renewal of vows
- re-dedication of rings
- Giving of new rings or gifts
- Words from previous wedding guests (Often Best man, bridesmaid or Bride's father
- Further reading
- Signing of certificate
- Witnesses and closing words
Details of the ceremony
A souvenir certificate is signed during the ceremony by the couple and two witnesses.
Normal ceremonies last approximately 15 minutes, but up to 30 minutes if more reading options are chosen.
Couples who wish to have a religious ceremony should contact their local place of worship.
