I got married in April of this year and we were going to renew our vows on our first anniversary.....but of course things are not going the way we planned ...everyone in our party is not part taking in the events of the ceremony. The bridesmaid are not either ....I feel I shouldn't have to chase grown to get thing done ...if I ask you six months ago about everything that going on and you tell me yes you will part take in my ceremony ...then five months out you change your mind. I'm not going to beg no one to do anything for me...are to do anything they really don't want to do. I've beenstrss for about two months and I cant take it no more.....

If there is no ceremony why do you need bridesmaids??

Also - you mean partaking? like participating correct? Then what is their exact role and/or purpose?

What CeCe said...I don't get the point of having them? Just to attend a party in matching dresses? Tell them thanks but no thanks...

Were they already involved in your actual wedding in April, or was that just an elopement with no one there?

You seriously have 5 months. People won't start helping until like a month or so before. Relax, lower your expectations a bit.

Woah, slow your roll, of course people aren't going to be excited about stuff this early out so stop chasing people down and relax. You just got married this year and are already planning a vow renewal, if these same people were involved in the wedding they may need some time to recharge.

Did you have a big reception for your wedding? 1 year is a little early to be planning a vow renewal IMO.

I know you didn't ask our opinion on that but it may be why no one is excited.

So you literally asked your BM 2 months after your wedding if they were ready for round 2?
Although I personally don't believe vows expire, I agree with others that a vow renewal after a year is a kind of early. Since it isn't an actual wedding people aren't as likely to make space in their lives to go through everything again.
Maybe you should think about just having back yard bbq and invite your friends over to celebrate your first year of marriage, as opposed to a traditional vow renewal.

I'm confused and not sure if that is even in English. I would pass on being a "bridesmaid" when there isn't a ceremony and I really don't think it is appropriate to have them without one. Which is why they probably don't want to participate, again not sure what they would participate in.

I'm confused. If you had a wedding with bridesmaids already why are you doing it again?

I am so confused. Did you and your husband already have a wedding with all the bells and whistles in April? And now you want to have another reception to renew your vows again?
