Has anyone done this?

Me and DH are thinking that we would like to do this for our 10th wedding anniversary which is in 4 years.

Dont know if we would do it abroad or in the UK.

TIA

just had a ding dong with my DH so at the moment I wouldnt bloody bother

Do you mind me asking why do you feel the need to do it? You made your vows for life the first time around. On our 10th wedding anniversary, dh and I left the children with grandparents and went for Rome for the weekend. I can thoroughly recommend it!

We have been through so much in the last couple of years with finding out that both our kids are SN and that i have AS.

We nearly split up about 4 years ago, but the trials that we have been through have made us stronger as a couple and we just thought that in another 4 years it would be nice to do something special for our 10th anniversary.

Jenk1, that's sounds like a sweet idea but in all honesty, when someone mentions 'renewing vows' it always sounds to me like a last-ditch attempt to save a relationship. Sorry, just my opinion

We thought of doing it,but just never got round to it for our 10th anniversary.
My reasons were that we'd grown much closer as a couple,since we first exchanged vows and also because,I enjoyed my wedding day so much I've always wanted to do it all over again and have a lovely big party.
I supose we'll have to wait for our 25th now

jenk i think that is a lovely idea...my grandparents renewed their vows on their ruby wedding anniversary and i know for them the day was so so special because they had all their children and grandchildren around them which obviously wernt there when they got married first time round at the age of 17. it was a very emotional day but a brilliant one. i would say go for it

I also think it's a great idea (had my first wedding anniversary yesterday so feeling gooey).

As long as it's combined with a lovely second honeymoon!

cos it seems wrong with marriage as you get the big party at the beginning, where with most things in life you have to work for the reward!.. seems to me you should celebrate your achievement of getting on with someone for so long!

I think it's a lovely idea - I tell my DH that I love him - just because I said it once doesn't mean I don't ever say it again - It's hard work keeping a marriage and a relationship going and I think that effort should be honoured!
