Vow renewal ceremony

Hi Telia. Congratulations on 25 years! I'm also doing a vow renewal, never done one before, so this is quite new. We will be celebrating our 20th year in Feb 2020. I am DIYing most of my decor. (bouquets, centerpieces, etc) Pinterest has become my best friend as far as ideas . Have you checked them out? I'll be starting most of my projects in November over the holidays. How many people are you planning on having?

Congratulations to you as well!. I have so many ideas from Pintrest that it is overwhelming. I'm going to be a DIY family and friends project. I'm calling in all favors. I'm starting now. I've already secured my venue. My friend who's a professional chef owes me a favor and will be doing my food, My niece kept all of her decorations from 2 years ago and I will be using most of them. My brother is an Ordained Minister and will be performing the ceremony. My friend who is also a dance instructor will be supplying my music. My sister-in-law doesn't know it yet but she will be assisting in the decor design ( she did her own and I warned her 5 years ago). My baby sister is doing the programs and invitations ( she did her own for her wedding). I've already gotten my bridal party together and asked/notified them ( just waiting on hubby to confirm his people). I have my wine contact appointment set up for March. Either my nephew will be doing my photography or I have a professional already lined up. We will have around 100 people.

Hey Telia!! WOW, congratulations on 25 years of marriage! What a beautiful achievement!

I love that you are planning the wedding you felt like you didn’t have 25 years ago! You will have the most wonderful time!!

It really sounds like you have a lot of help from your family, that’s great! Will you be having your ceremony and reception at the same venue?

Have you started thinking about what you would like to wear?

We didn't get to have a wedding at all the 1st time. We went to the Justice of the Peace. I have already reserved my venue and will make my deposit on Friday. Both the reception and ceremony will be in the same place. It has a dedicated Chapel Room right across from the reception area but under the same roof. I actually found them on this site. They are called 508 Event Center. I have 4 dresses picked out and I'm letting my sisters vote. I have the ladies' dresses picked out and I have ordered my husband's suit. I got it at a steal from Groupon. I'm waiting for it to come in to check the quality before sending the link to the guys.
