Vow Renewal Ceremonies

Numerous couples who have been married for a long time ask whether they may renew their wedding vows. They wish to publicly declare again the promises and commitments that they made years earlier.

I happily officiate wedding vow renewal ceremonies.  Vow renewal has recently become popular and is especially loved among people who have been married for twenty years or more.

The purpose of vow renewal

When a couple renews their vows, it is a wonderful opportunity to remember when they were first married in the presence of close family and friends. This renewal allows them to experience again the intensity of love that filled them at their first wedding. It also gives them an opportunity to recommit themselves publicly as spouses once more, after many happy years together.

The renewal service is a wonderful family celebration, for the whole family.  It is an opportunity to celebrate the family, as well as the marriage, and this can help bring the family together. 

Preparing for your vow renewal

I welcome couples from all religious traditions that recognize this ceremony and intention.  I always want to meet you first.  Without meeting, something will be missing. By meeting, I mean at least a phone call, and even a virtual conference, if not in person. Please know that I can and will invoke God, to cover the spiritual needs of couples of all religions. It goes without saying that we will discuss this.
