To ask if anyone ever renews their wedding vows for a good reason?

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?

I think it’s odd. To ‘renew’ means that your original vows didn’t mean much.

No it doesn’t.

What a weird take. You renew something because the original was so good you want the same again, not because it was crap.

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.

A relative renewed her vows for a similar reason.

She had undergone some brutal cancer treatment and had come out the other side.
