Why?

People renew their vows for several reasons. * '''They missed the first wedding. ''' Military leave, elopement, limited time or money, being married abroad all reasons couples may not have done it up the first time around. If the urge strikes and they want to do something a bit more celebratory, vow renewals are the way to go. The reaffirmation of vows ceremony can get as big and extravagant as the couple can afford have it. * '''They have just gone through a rough spot in their relationship'''. Sometimes couples have differences so great it seems as if a split is inevitable. Yet, some pull through and work out their problems. Such successes deserve a celebration, which is why many couples opt to renew their vows after a difficult period. These affairs are usually more of the intimate kind, something that allows the two to spend time together and regroup, something more of an emotional and personal endeavor than one involving friends and family. * '''They have hit a relationship milestone'''. Maybe it has been five, ten, twenty, or even fifty years. These big anniversaries are the perfect time to celebrate a lasting love. Invite everyone, have a blast, throw a crazy party, and enjoy. Skip all the fuss and frustration that goes along with a wedding and just throw a bash to have fun and say you love each other again.

What About the Details?

''Are invitations required?'' Having invitations all depends on how formal an affair the "wedding" will be. If it's a bonanza bash with all friends and family invited, then yes. But if it's just the two of you, the answer is clear. ''Are honeymoons allowed''? Why not? Even if you did it before, consider it another way to celebrate. Or, make the renewal of vows a honeymoon in itself by photographers'' and''should there be music''? Document it! You don't need to spend a fortune, but you should have pictures or a video with which to remember this special commemoration. And, if you want to dance you better have some tunes, whether you spin your own or hire a pro.
