"I Do"...Again

>more on wedding planning

Are you considering renewing your vows? If you're like many couples, after several years of marriage you may opt for a vow renewal, a chance to reaffirm your love, to celebrate your life together, to have the wedding you didn't have the first time around, or to recognize the people who make your marriage all that it is: your children, your parents, your friends.

Destination Vow Renewals

Renewing your vows is simpler than a wedding: you don't have any of the legalities involved with a first time "I do." You won't need a marriage license (since you've already got one) so you can feel free to get married just about anyplace in the world. Locations like France or the French Caribbean which have lengthy residency periods for weddings are perfect for vow renewals. You can breeze in and exchange vows any time you choose with no hassle of court visits, licenses, and paperwork. And your vows can be just as you like without the constraints of legalese.

Formal Vow Renewals

Or you may choose for all the pomp and circumstance of a grand wedding, minus the marriage license. Your vow renewal can be as simple or as elaborate as you and your budget choose. Dress is up to you: a wedding dress, a simple dress and a small veil, you name it. You can even opt to send printed invitations much like wedding invitations.
