Wedding do over

I'd be really confused to receive a second wedding invitation from a couple one year later. And I wouldn't attend.

It is called a celebration of love you are already married and it is fine to have a celebration.

Hi Alyssa! You guys can absolutely have a vow renewal or host an big anniversary party if you want to!

Your "dream wedding" is the wedding where you marry the person you want to spend your life with. As long as that happened, you are good to go. Spend your hard earned money somewhere else.

Thank you for all the feedback!! Our day was beautiful there are just things we had to cut out that we wish we wouldn't have

Use the money and take an awesome honeymoon or trip! A do over is not the same, no matter how big of a party you throw, there is no such thing as a "do over"

Either take a nice trip somewhere or else put the money in savings.

You two are already married, you had your wedding. Just cherish the day that you had and focus on your future together.

I think this idea could work, and you could have a fancy vow renewal that has all the details you want. However, I would continue to save up for it for a bigger anniversary like 10 years maybe. One year is not very long after the original wedding

ETA spelling

I think the anniversary party is a great idea. Maybe wait a little longer on a renewal.

Thank you!! I just regret not having a video and some other details due to budget but I love all the advice!!

Your right it wouldn't be the same. Anyone out there not get a video and how do you deal with that regret ?

I'm with PP. Did you take your "dream" honeymoon? I'd do that. Take a great anniversary trip somewhere you've always wanted to go.

No we stayed in the area that we live because we didn't have enough to go anywhere

Yea just do like a vow renewal!!

My sister and her husband did just that- had a small, intimate wedding and one year later renewed their vows in our hometown. We have a huge family that couldn't come to the initial wedding and was thrilled to have a chance to celebrate with them, even if it was a year later.

Maybe wait like 5 or 10 years - otherwise as a guest I'd probably wonder what was going on in your relationship (a big almost split up fight?) that you needed such a redo so quickly

Go away to a tropical island with your hubby to a resort that specializes in vow renewals. Have it videotaped. Wear a pretty dress and get your makeup / hair done.

I think it would be a little silly to have another "wedding" with essentially the same guests as a year before.

I agree. Take a trip, renew your vows on the trip. The general public, even the people who love you the most, won't want a repeat. Weddings are hard. *Lol* Make amazing memories!

View Quoted Comment Great Idea! That’s what We wanted to do in the beginning but we knew many wouldn’t be able to attend so we chose to go local. But I can’t stand the fact that I didn’t do things MY WAY on the biggest day. I wanted a tropical wedding and didn’t get that. Wedding was in August 2018. Sooo to get over my own dissatisfaction, my husband and I will renew our vows Tropically. 🥰
