View Full Version : Renewing wedding vows
:(
It seems that not everyone thinks that renewing ones vows is a lovely idea.
After ten years of ill health, damn near bankcrupcy, the loss of two parents and numerous other ****** events...Along with some wonderfu ones of course..We decided to renew our vows.
I ahve spent nearly twelve months planning this night, spent weeks and weeks writing out the 'vows' for a candle ceremony, planning the party and what I will wear etc etc etc. It seems though that one or two people are having a bit of a laugh about it.
'just doing it for the party', what for arnt they married anyway, oh what rubbish, oh more American ideas being...
BLAH BLAH BLAH
Hubbs and I want to stand up infront of our family and friends and renew our marriage....Right now I am feeling a litle embarassed and pretty much like calling it all off, I feel like a bit of a laughing stock right now. :sad:
Obvioulsy its going to be a HUGE party but its the renewal that means things to me....
Tell the naysayers to shove it. :)
It's for you and your husband - don't sweat the saddoes who try and pull you down.
It's your life and your relationship; when you want their advice you'll ask for it. For now, just knock 'em off the guest list. :)
Best of luck.
rubydazzler 05-11-2007, 06:40 It sounds as though it's going to be a very special event for you both. If you think certain people are going to ruin it for you with their crass attitude, ask them not to attend after all, as it's obviously not their kind of thing.
They're probably really envious that you two actually want to reaffirm your commitment to one another and masking their jealousy by making silly comments.
Congratulations!
honeyb35 05-11-2007, 08:16 why on earth not, a renewal is surely a celebration, why shouldnt you stand there and show everyone you're still very much together? Dont invite the miserable ones if they are going to be like that, would they prefer to celebrate a divorce or something??

Classic Rock 05-11-2007, 10:57 You do it for yourselves because you want to and it means something to you. If your friends and family want to support you they will be there for you. If they don't believe in it, then I'm afraid you'll just have to accept that, but don't let it get in the way of something which is important to you.
ahhhh guys thanks for your support, your all right, I know that, cant help feeling a bit crap though when people cant see that after all weve been through we want to do this.
I am going to enjoy the rest of the run up and have a stomping night...Sod them ey !!

I think it's a great idea! I've been married almost 5 years and I'm planning on renewing our vows at 15th anniversary!
I'm doing it because we got married on the cheap as we just wanted to be married (well I did anyway!). We couldn't afford all the extras that would have been great, so when I can afford to I'm going to do what I want to!
Tell anyone who doesn't like the sound of it, to not come, it's completely your decision and I think you'll have a great time, it's nice to see some romance around.
Enjoy your planning and the day itself.
Hahahahahaha I thought youd turn up on here at some point, nahhh Im over it, was yesterday when you came to see us !! hehe
Just silly asses and I am truly ignoring them, as Hubbs says, they have other agendas anyway, but thats a story for another place and time huh !
