What is a Renewal of Vows Ceremony?
A renewal of vows ceremony is both a reaffirmation and renewal.
Couples are deciding to renew their vows more often than in the past.
You are celebrating the blessings of being in love and staying together.
There are many reasons for you to renew your
wedding vows. Perhaps you eloped, or were united in
the courthouse by a justice of the peace. Now you
want a REAL ceremony.
Some couples renew their vows to coincide with other
special life events like the birth of a child, the recovery
of a serious illness, or landmark wedding anniversaries.
Sometimes, the renewal is a time to acknowledge the
victory of reuniting after a time of separation.
They can be the setting of a family reunion.
It is a time to honor each other with revitalized commitment, taking a fresh look at each other with
appreciation for all you mean to each other. A renewal of vows ceremony can be formal,
or as casual as you wish.
Who Hosts the Renewal Ceremony?
Sometimes, the children host a renewal of vows for their parents. Mostly, couples host their own
celebration. Carolyn Burke - Wedding Liaison can manage your celebration by pulling together an itinerary,
confirming commitments and double-checking the details.

special memories. You can have a private ceremony with only the two of you, a select few guests or a big
party inviting the whole network of those who support you. Carolyn Burke - Wedding Liaison has
information on locations, musicians, and more to assist in your planning.

Your Unique Ceremony
The renewal of marriage vows ceremony can be put together by you! Just as no two married couples are
the same, no two ceremonies to renew marriage vows will ever be the same.
An officiant can conduct your renewal of marriage vows ceremony but will not be acting in any official
capacity.
Carolyn Burke - Wedding Liaison knows experienced officiants who have conducted many different renewal
of marriage vows ceremonies; be sure to ask her advice on anything you are unsure about.
If you have your original vows, these also can be used in the renewal ceremony. It is also an occasion when
a married couple "upgrade" their wedding rings now that they can afford to do so.
Special people in your lives can take part in your renewal of marriage vows ceremony, your children, guests
who were at the wedding and any friends and relatives.
