20th anniversary renewal

Allie, on October 31, 2024 at 7:31 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 2

Do you think it’s tacky to do a vow renewal? Our 20th anniversary will be on mardi gras day 2028. I’m thinking we could have a smallish courtyard renewal in New Orleans, with 50-100 ish close friends/ very select family. Would it be in bad taste? Honestly I want to do it our wedding was overshadowed and scaled back to keep drama at bay because of “family”. I want the professional photos, the fun party, honestly the only thing I wouldn’t change about the original is my husband. I feel like we should do it, he’s down for whatever I decide but has said he would love a redo in New Orleans on my favorite holiday. We have been through a lot, lost our youngest son, my family is pretty much all gone, we have had many struggles in our lives but our marriage has never struggled. That’s where I’m unsure, I know people do it when getting back together, or having marriage troubles( cheating, separation etc) but we have never had that. I just want the celebration about us, no one else, like our first was again we were young we catered to everyone but ourselves to keep peace, we no longer do that. We have a circle that loves us and cares about us now. What do y’all honestly think?

    I don't think a vow renewal is tacky at all, especially for a milestone anniversary! Vow renewals are not just for overcoming marriage troubles, it's also for celebrating milestones and also celebrating just being happily married. You can absolutely include all the same elements as a wedding (or whichever elements you choose) - professional vendors, fancy attire, ceremony, reception/dancing, etc. The only things you should skip for a vow renewal are the pre-wedding events (bridal shower, bachelorette party, etc). This sounds like a super sweet and fun way for you both to celebrate your 20th anniversary with your closest friends and family!
