Not meant to be hateful at all- I have been aware of three couples who have renewed their weddings vows, all when infidelity has occurred. Just wondering if anyone knows of anyone who has done it for a genuinely nice reason or is it usually a red flag?

It was on Mumsnet that I heard people only renewed their vows if there had been infidelity. I'd never heard that before and had always wanted a vow renewal at a specific time / anniversary.

DH and I have been married 25 years but I didn't suggest it for our anniversary incase people thought that about us. I shouldn't care what people think but that was too much!

I just love him so much, I'd marry him all over again.

My friend did, she got married really young and couldn’t afford a big wedding and she is very religious so she had a tiny church wedding with only family afterwards. For many years my friend said she’d love to throw a party for her friends and they all dress up in formal wear and her and her DH will renew their vows. So this is what she did for her 25th wedding anniversary.

DF and her husband got married with just two witnesses at the register office when she was really unwell with cancer and it looked like she wouldn't survive.

2 years later she had made a full recovery and so they decided to renew their vows with everyone there, and with a big party.

It's a good reason to them. I'm not sure they need a reason to justify it to anyone else.
