Why renew your vows?
There are many reasons why couples choose
to hold a renewal of vows ceremony, here are
just a few:
Those who have married abroad, choose to
have a renewal of vows ceremony in order
that they can share their experience and joy
with their family and friends who were not
present at their marriage ceremony.
Couples who are nearing a milestone
anniversary choose these ceremonies to
renew their vows to each other and celebrate
their special day with family and friends.
Couples who have suffered some difficulties
and have overcome these choose to renew
their commitment to each other and seek to
strengthen their bonds either privately or with
close family and friends.

Couples who may not have been in a
position to have an extravagant day
when they had their marriage or civil
partnership, choose to do it all again
in style.

Renewal of Vows
Family members also arrange these ceremonies as a surprise for their loved
ones to mark some special milestone, or if you know someone close to you and
you want to help them celebrate a wonderful occasion, there is no better way to
celebrate that special anniversary than by having the happy couple renew their
treasured marriage vows before having a great party.
These ceremonies follow a similar format to a marriage ceremony and are
tailored to meet the individual circumstances of the couple. Couples can
choose to include readings and music, exchange new rings or their original
ones, include children or other family members. To assist you we have included
some readings and poems which have featured in ceremonies on the previous
pages in this publication.
A commemorative certificate is signed at the ceremony and there are a
range of other commemorative certificates which can be purchased to mark
the occasion. It is also possible to purchase confetti in advance from the
Registration Service.

any of the approved venues, it may be possible to hold them in other venues
subject to additional costs and suitable risk assessment.
