2Nd Ceremony Post Covid?

April, on June 16, 2021 at 11:11 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 2 6

Hi Brides!! I know a lot of brides are in the same situation as I am- so I'm reaching out for some help. My husband and I had an August 2020 wedding planned. We still got married in August at my parents home with our immediate family and pushed our big reception off until Sept 2021. We are legally married, we said our vows and traded rings, but I didn't wear my fancy dress to our small ceremony. This Sept. we are planning on having our ceremony (we're calling it a vow renewal) and reception with all of our friends and family.

Because we are already married and already paid for an officiant, we are choosing a family member to be our "officiant". I've been googling some vow renewal scripts, but I'd have to do a lot of tweaking as we've only been married a year. We're going to exchange rings again- (same rings, but in the morning we are going to take our bands off and then re-gift them to each other during the ceremony), but we just want a short ceremony to make the guests feel like it's a real wedding and we want our special ceremony too.

If you're a bride who's doing a similar thing to me- do you have a script you'd be willing to share?

Thank you!!

    I’m in the same boat, and finally get our “wedding” on June 27th! Can’t even wait! We are having the same officiant from our real wedding last June, but he is going to make it a vow renewal, so I am putting my faith in him! We went to a wedding with this same story in April but the officiant speech was weird, as he kept saying “again.” Ex- kiss the bride, again. It rubbed me the wrong way so I told my officiant not to do that! LOL!

    LOL that is weird!! I know it won't be a legal ceremony as we've already had ours, but I want my guests to feel like they were apart of a special ceremony too and not feel uncomfortable during the whole thing.

    My husband and I are doing the same this October! Unfortunately I do not have a script to share. His aunt married us legally and she will do the same for our upcoming big wedding, only this time we we actually recite our own vows instead of the traditional ones.

    Do you still desire to love Groom, to hold him above all others and have him as the husband of your heart and partner of your life?

    Bride: I do

    Will you, Bride, reaffirm groom as your lawful husband? Will you continue to live your life openly with him, and speak the truth to him with love? Will you continue to honor and tenderly care for him? And will you continue to cherish and encourage his fulfillment as an individual throughout all the years ahead of you in your share life?

    Bride: I will

    Officiant: Please repeat after me "With this ring, I continue to pledge my enduring love"

    I am in the same boat and at the same time my husband is not creative in writing vows and just wants to do same exact wording as last year. I took the above from pinterest because I felt it did not have the sense of a lengthy marriage. I kept the ring exchange from our first vows with the judge. It will be put to the test in August.

    A lot can happen in one year, especially with the pandemic. Vows and engagements were put to the test. Even if nothing bad or stressful happened, reaffirming your love is timeless.
