10th anniversary vow renewal

Michelle, on March 30, 2019 at 11:46 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4
I was given an idea about a vow renewal by my mother-in-law. And I decided on our 10th anniversary is when I'd like to do it. My husband and I got married on a very small budget and it was a lovely wedding at the church we still go to. But the memories I wish I had during our wedding was absent (like having my entire family absent for our wedding due to family issues). I want to do this vow renewal to create an opportunity to create memories and photo opts to where my side of the family is included. I've been reading a little on renewal vow etiquette, where it's a fopaux to wear your wedding dress because you are no longer a bride. But my father and grandma has never seen me in my wedding dress. Would it be weird to rewear my wedding dress or frowned upon? It's very much a bridal dress with a chapel train with beautiful lace and beading. I'd love to hear some thoughts on this.

    Yes! Do it. Wear your wedding dress or get a new one for your vow renewal. 👍

    Our 10th anniversary is next February where we will have a vow renewal. We never had a wedding. Our daughter was hospitalized and had surgery so the small (under 10) person event we had planned was cancelled. We didn't even get to go out for dinner.

    We aren't having any wedding parties or gifts or anything like a "real bride" would have, but I am wearing a wedding dress. I regret so much having no photos of us from that day.
