Is an intimate wedding do over/vow renewal acceptable?

I'm sorry your wedding didn't go as planned. It's very disappointing when things we work so hard for end up falling apart

Many people have vow renewals. There's nothing wrong with that. There are actually a few girls on here that are already married and planning vow renewals or the wedding they never had.

Yes , having a intimate " do over" wedding is acceptable.

Of course you can! That sucks that everything fell apart for the two of you. But it wouldn't be a do-over. If you plan on inviting people, they need to know it is a renewal because I am assuming your guests still showed up and brought presents. Saying its a new wedding implies they need to do it all again. And don't throw bridal showers and bachelorette parties again. Stuff like that is what will annoy guests. But to have the ceremony you planned originally and renewing your vows would be nice!

My hubby and I have been talking about it for some time now and we want it to be just us two, no guests because it's a very intimate feeling we are going for... We were even thinking of doing it on the honeymoon we never got...

I say yes!

Sorry so many things fell through. : (

Amanda, of course that would be ok. What's great about what you're doing is that you are doing it for the absolute best reason: You and your hubby want to intimately express what you feel for each other, with just the two of you. I think that would be absolutely beautiful and I also think doing it on the honeymoon you never had would be absolutely romantic!

It absolutely annoys me completely that ladies feel they have to have "permission" to renew their vows. If you are doing it for the right reasons, to celebrate your love, and inviting folks that know you, they already know you're married and know what ot expect. We are all adults and shouldn't have to get permission or be told what we "can" and "cannot do" to express and share our love.

Good luck!

Why wouldn't it be acceptable? H and I are both thinking we will want one in the future.

Oh girly i feel your pains soo bad! i do believe me!!! you can message me if you wanna talk. i to had to do everything all over like 2weeks before hand. and it was terrible! im having a "redo"!!! this april. and ive worked hard and everything is going to be much much better! i am all for your redo! do it!!!!!!!!!!! and ya know what? im only spending about 500 on my redo. my orriginal cost me $1,000!!!!! that's it!

Welcome @Amanda, bumping to help you out!

Yes you guys deserve it!

Absolutely acceptable!! It's your ceremony to do as you so choose.

After all you've been through...I think it is a MUST DO!! You deserve to go away, just the two of you, and have the most beautiful wedding / renewal of your dreams. As for what other's will think...who says you even have to tell anyone?? Just say you are going on your honeymoon you never had.

You should definitely have the honeymoon you didn't get before and I think including an intimate vote renewal in the process sounds absolutely beautiful!

The big objection to vow renewals/do overs comes when people think you are just doing them as a gift grab. That's obviously not an issue when it is just for the two of you.

I am married already and we are having a vow renewal ceremony in March. It is acceptable and go all out if you want to.

I've learned to throw the old traditions out the window and so what makes you happy! I feel if you want a special day with you to just say how much you love eachother because you felt like the first time was just a mess the GO FOR IT! it's your life you should be happy!!
