To think having a whole other wedding 10 years later is odd?

[Greentrees2021]

I saw some photos the other day of Marvin and Rochelle Humes having a full on second destination wedding to celebrate their 10 year anniversary. I keep thinking how weird this is but it's just being celebrated in the media/SM and noone seems to be commenting how it's odd. Is this now a thing?

I can't get my head around having a whole other wedding ceremony in full wedding dress, another hen/stag do after just 10 years. I was married a similar time ago with DC the same age as theirs and it feels like the blink of an eye. I just cannot imagine expecting all my family and friends to spend time celebrating us all over again. We had our moment and life has moved on and is full of new challenges and opportunities and joy.

I suppose in some ways it's no different from someone having a second dress or second hen party for a second marriage, so why do I find this so strange? It just seems a really weird (and if I'm honest slightly self obsessed) thing to do.

I wouldn't be so bothered if it hadn't been for a magazine. The fact it is & would have involved a huge payment seems really tasteless from a couple who certainly have enough money.
They seem lovely but I unfollwed on social media as it really was becoming a tone deaf display of designer clothes, holidays & wealth.

Vows renewal, pretty normal. I went to one recently and it was lovely to see them re-declare their love for one another and celebrate ten years with a big party and gathering. I was bridesmaid, big party, just like a wedding. All for it. Being odd is great but it's not odd, at all.

The ceremony part seems a bit ridiculous but I'd happily go to the reception as a guest. Any excuse for a party.

I've seen a few couples arranging vow renewals - all of them were attempting to save failing marriages and ended within a few years

I’d love to do it again too, I don’t look anything like I did when I got married, I’d have a total different dress,venue and size of wedding.

it’s just sad that if you wanted to do it again, someone’s tarred with the “cheat” brush

It is perfectly possible to want to celebrate the life you've had with someone further down the line. You're allowed to have a big wedding because you want all your loved ones together. You're allowed to renew your vows just because you love someone.

Yes that's called throwing a party for your anniversary, and lots of people do it.
Quite different from re-enacting your wedding and expecting all your friends and families to be as thrilled as you are.

Oh they moved house, of course he cheated then. 😂😂😂
