I was married on December 20, but I would rather renew my vows during the Summer. I was just wondering if proper etiquette advised against doing this.

I think it's absolutely romantic that you're renewing your vows!
There is no proper etiquette prescribed for renewing wedding vows - it is simply a celebration of that sacred promise you made to your significant other so many years ago. I assume you had fun at your wedding, and it was like how you wanted it, so why should it be any different now?
Will you be writing your own renewal vows?
I think the only real problem you will have if you do not renew your vows on Dec 20 is if you should change your wedding anniversary date and how you're going to count the length of time you've been married if you do change it.
But otherwise, I wish you all the best! It sounds absolutely lovely already.

I ws married on December 15th and my husband and I are planning on renewing our vows as well. We got married quite young and the wedding...if you can even call it that....was horrible. Anyhow...I've been doing a lot of research on the subject and so far nobody has said changing the date would be unacceptable. It's really all depends on what you and hubby want. I am currently wrestling with the same problem. Although I know it's not unusual for the date to be changed...and I would like to change it....I'm unsure if that's what I'm going to do because then how would you know whch day to celebrate? It's a bit confusing. Take care and I hope you have an amazing day!
Also...if you happen to come across any good vow renewal websites could you send me the link? I've found a few but none that go into detail. Most are for first time brides. Thanks so much!

No offense at all but, Etiquette, shmetiquette.
The day may be extremely significant to you, but was siuational. The design of the vows, and the marriage in the bonding are what matters.
I suggest as hopefully many others will,,,DO what fits YOU. Do what you feel will offer comfort, not only cuz it's Summer, but soooooo many nice possibilities for a second honeymoon.
BTW,, not to shock into cardiac arrest, any Etiquette mavens out there, but I truly don't care which eating utensils are placed where, along side my formal dinner plate experience.

Welcome to the club! I was married 12/12, renewed vows on 6/12. Now I have an anniversary every 6 months!! We will celebrate our 25th this year with a vow renewal and it will not be on 12/12 as the church has a previous engagement so it will be on the Saturday prior! Go for it and congrats!!

I think its cool you want to renew you vows these days so many marriages end in divorce because they were not properly matched.
There is no reason why you should not pick any day that is special to you they are your vows
God Bless You and Your Marriage.

Do what you want. If you think it's more romantic to renew your vows during the summer, go right ahead.

This situation is very similar to your original wedding. You got married on the date you chose. Choose you renewal date.
It is all about the commitment you are confirming not what time of year it is. Enjoy your summer celebration.

I don't see any reason why you can't renew your vows whenever you want. It's a celebration. Go for it.

I can't think of a single reason. This is one place where I don't think etiquette has any real weight. If it works, why not do it on June 20?

This is not an etiquette question. Look into your heart and do what you want. Sounds like a fabulous excuse for a party and you should make it work for you.
