Renewal of vows after nine months of marriage?

[BalloonSlayer]

There is an article in the Laydee section of the Times today about the current vogue for having Vow Renewal ceremonies.

Apparently the Black Swan Hotel at Helmsley, North Yorkshire have launched a £2,500 wedding vow renewal package.

You get a certificate and everything.

One couple are renewing their vowa after nine months of marriage because they had 140 people to their first wedding and it was "Too big. So we decided to have another one."

AIBU to think ?

See my OH and I have been wanting to renew our vows next year as it will be our 10yr anniversary but my friend said that she thought everyone would think one of us had cheated!

This had not even occured to me, our motive was that we let our parents take over our wedding day and we had lots of people saying we would never last so it was just really stressful and it felt like a huge pressure on us at the time.

We had thought of just having a big party to celebrate 10yrs and the birth of our son, where we can invite all the family that there was not room to invite originally.

Some people love an excuse for a party, some people are at the side of grief, tragedy, illness, some people have been married a long long time, and some people like the world to know again and again how happy they are. Nothing wrong with any of that, we celebrate birth together, why not make marriage important enough to say it more than once....if you're not why does it bother you that others do?

Coleen Rooney, in the paper yesterday, going to renew their vows in a big party next year. and that their relationship is now 'fine', after a few days get away in Dubai.
Oh please. the woman is making herslef look like a idiot.
insulting to all those who have morals.

We will be 25 years married next year and will probably do a public renewal of vows (ie we will have a silver wedding party, and do this then).

I think it is good to renew vows, but you don't need to spend any money to do so.

After the year of utter shit we've had since we got married - I'd quite like to renew our vows, just as a celebration of "we've got through 99% of the utter crap possible for life to throw at us and we're still as strong as ever - up yours life" kind of way.

Ain't fucking wearing a dress again - my best memory of the wedding day was the moment of utter bliss getting that and the shoes that were killing my feet off, into jeans and then for the evening sat on the beach eating fish and chips with the groom, best man and his missus! Ranked higher than having an entire premiership footy team stood in the hotel lobby as we left to go to the wedding (although the thighs were a nice view as well :D )
