Rescheduled Covid-ideas of vow renewa?

Hello!


I have a quick question for the group. My husband and I were scheduled to get married last March. Unfortunately COVID happened....we still did a court house ceremony and are married! Yay!
But, we still plan to try our cancelled wedding ceremony again. It was supposed to be in Mexico and have paid and planned everything as of last March.
Would you guys all do the same thing that was planned? Or somehow do a little different focused just on vows?
I am kinda lost on ideas and want to start planning as we will try again for the ceremony in Mexico-this time next March! So, 2 years after the canceled date. Any ideas of how to go forward with this?

    I would still so everything you were originally planning! You deserve to have the wedding, now vow renewal, of your dreams! Maybe just use different wording for your ceremony/vows since you're already married 😊

    My husband and I are in the same position. We had a minimony last October and were married. Or bigger wedding got scheduled for 3/27/21, which had now been postponed to 10/2/21. We are doing the whole thing (ceremony, bridal party, reception etc). We didn't do all for the minimony but are definitely looking forward to this October!

    I like the minimony phrase!! We are looking forward to the next try but it just seems to have a different vibe because we are already married. I’m glad we get to be excited again. I think we will do it like a vow renewal but cut the ring piece, and maybe the bridal party piece.

    Yes! Good idea about different words! I’m sad I couldn’t do the wedding with the feeling of everything being new but I’m happy we made the decision to already get married.


    I wonder about wedding invites and save the dates. I already did all those. I’ll have to come up with a catchy save the date card again....

    We didn't use our bridal party for the minimony, they came as guests and my bridesmaids already have their dresses so I don't want them to waste their money. Otherwise we wouldn't use them either. But yes its definitely something else to look forward to, I am excited!

    Hi! We are doing a vow renewal in May. We had a very small ceremony last July, but it was just the basic I-do's. This time, we are adding in our own personal vows + a few traditional Filipino things since his family is Filipino. I'm really excited to have this full experience!

    Cognates on getting married last year!!!!! I went through the same thing last year but we just rescheduled and we are waiting till next year. But i would do the vow renewal and do everything as planned that way you can still have you're time to get dressed up and have fun with the girls.

    Congratulations on your marriage!

    You should go about your vow renewal the same way as you would a wedding! Invitation wording should be a little different, but otherwise there is no reason to treat it much differently. I think especially for the next few years, guests will find themselves at many such events - and of course, all or most of those you would invite are surely aware that you originally planned on having a traditional wedding celebration and didn't get one, so they shouldn't be surprised by you now throwing the event of your dreams.

    We are doing the same thing! Original day was 6/5/20, we did a minimony as well and now our actual reception is 6/3/21! People think we are being silly to be doing a vow renewal type of thing but I think it's sweet since no one was at our original vow exchange!

    You deserve to have your special day! Do it up how it was supposed to be! Congratulations girl!
