Ceremonies By Cath

How beautiful is the union that stands the test of time. Moving in strength and unity of heart and soul and mind.

Many couples choose to renew their marriage vows for a variety of reasons, it could be that they are:

• Celebrating a milestone anniversary from as little as 10 years through to their Silver (25 years) Wedding Anniversary and beyond.
  
• Renewing their vows because their relationship have suffered a crisis such as a separation and they now wish to put the past behind them and start anew.
  
• A couple who have married overseas where their loved ones were not there to witness it and they now wish to share the occasion amongst their family and friends via another ceremony.
  

Regardless of the reason, the common reason for all is that they wish to re-affirm their love and bond as a couple.

Renewal of Vows ceremony or also known as Re-affirmation ceremonies are not legal ceremonies but it is still a very important rite of passage for couples who chooses to celebrate such a ceremony.

Therefore, with the use of my Renewal of Vows manual, couples can choose the words, the readings or rituals to be included to make their ceremony a meaningful and very personal one. Including family members or friends or their children into their ceremony also adds that extra personal touch.

The greatest compliment I received after conducting a Renewal of Vows ceremony was when the couple told me that “the ceremony they just had was far better and more meaningful than their wedding ceremony”.
