okay, my hubby and i are getting remarried at our 10 yr anniversary, because when we got married it was at the courthouse. so we both wanted to have a real wedding to celebrate later on. nyways, our 9 yr ann. is next march, and i have already began trying to get things together. i feel good doing this, knowing i have plenty of time to get it together. but at the same time shoulld i wait a little bit or is it cool to do it this way. that gives me 1 1/2 yr to make it what we want it to be. and also its really a vow renewal, so would it be done the same as a wedding or differently? but is it ok to make it like a first wedding considering we never had our first one?

Excellent idea - and no its certainly not to early to start planning. You can do it any way you want as far as vows - we even included our children - there are lots of examples, try :http://www.idotaketwo.com/renewing_wedding_vows.html
Have fun and best of luck!!

No, you don't celebrate your 10th anniversary like a wedding. However your wedding day was what it was. It's over, you did it as you wanted to or could at the time. Just treat your anniversary as a celebration. Have a vow renewal if that's what your church does, then just have a party at your home, or dinner, or whatever. Save a really big celebration for your 25th, which is what most people do.

A vow renewal is fine, but don't throw a "re-run wedding" with all the trimmings. That would be in bad taste. you get one wedding per marriage.
If you want to celebrate, plan a nice anniversary dinner-dance (simillar to a wedding reception) and invite everyone to that. Quietly renew your vows in front of a small group of family at your place of worship, earlier in the day.
But re-run weddings are tacky.

No it isn't, these things take time. Everyone deserves a wedding day,wedding picture ect, if anyone tells you other wise, they are wrong.
We don't plan when we fall in love,or who we fall in love with, not all of us have the money, for some of us we have to save for it ourselves, good luck to you two, go for it hunny.
I am also getting married by court house abd will have the wedding 2 and half yrs from now, due to the fact my sweetie is a United States Soldier, so you see life hands you things that are unfair and we do the best we can at the time.

Awesome idea. There is no such thing as too much time. I have almost a year and a half and now it is 2 months away and i feel like i needed more time. I didnt lag either, i started right away.
You should do the wedding how ever you two want it, however grand it may be. Good luck!

I say better early than last minute.
And yes it's okay!
And I have a suggestion to you that I feel really strongly about --hire a wedding coordinator. Mine totally saved my life on my wedding day. It is worth every penny and more. And that person is trained to know how do to whatever you want to do faster and easier than anyone just doing it on their own. . . plus --day of there's someone to put out the fires. And there WILL be problems. Guaranteed. But there will be someone there to handle them and it won't have to be you. . .
Best wishes :)

Its your day, so you make it as grand as you want. There is no such thing as too early, to start planning for a wedding.
I can understand wanting to renew your vows since you got married at the court house.
Congrats on being married for almost 10 years!

I'd start now and make as as lavish as you want. You'll be surprised how much time it will take to plan this all out. Congratulations! My best tip is to remember to enjoy the day it goes by really quick. That and remember to eat before the ceremony, I've seen to many Brides and Grooms get light headed because they forgot to eat.

Why wait? Better to have time you don't need then to need time you don't have. This is a day for both your husband and yourself and as long as the 2 of you are happy, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Congratulations!

Oh my gosh that is the best idea! It is not too early to start planning seeing that most reception sites, photographers, caters, bakeries, etc. require a 1 year in advance reervation.
