My husband and I are planning a 25th wedding anniversary vow renewal & party. We will have approx. 120 guests, a DJ, dinner, open bar. The vow renewal will take place at the banquet hall before dinner. We will not have an ofciant. Our 3 children will be walking with me to wear my husband will be standing and we will say our own written "vows" to each other.

Is it ok if I wear my original wedding gown? I plan on having it re worked to make it more in style and less "churchy" (no train or veil). Kinda want to make it shorter & add a tule skirt that is removeable for the party. My dress usn't white either- it's a very pale ice blue

    Wedding dresses are so expensive, it seems silly to only wear once! Congratulations!
