My Partner and myself got married 2 years ago and I hated it. The best thing out of it is that we are together and we have a beautiful baby girl. Everything was wrong. We paid for it, but didn't get to choose the venue, our photo's didn't work out and alot of other dramas. On our 5th anniversary I would like to get married again, on the beach and have a cocktail party after. Is that silly?

Sure... sounds great... but make sure that your guests understand it is an anniversary party only... the renewal of vows is just a bonus for your benefit... and that no gifts are expected.
And please don't do the full bore wedding regalia and have attendants etc!

Dear Jacinta
I 100% disagree with what you plan. Why waste your husbands hard earned money like this. Put it in to some type of investment. Do you own a house. Are you putting money away for your child's college? No why should you open your self up to a wedding out side at the beach with cocktails. The last one went bad have your luck changed and you won the lotto? When you go to bed at night after you make love to your husband. Tell your husband what a good lover he is what a good dad he is and how much you love him. When you get up in the morning tell your husband how much you love him and be safe we need you and love you. Then if your kids do not spend the money on college go to romantic place with him and enjoy the money you saved for your 30 year wedding vows. Just love him and your child and have a good time no drinking and driving for any one please.

It is far from silly dear. It's actually very romantic. Capture the essence of the marriage by doing this and it helps to make the marriage last. Renewing marriage vows shouldn't be a one time event. By doing it now and again, it reaffirms the love between the couple and helps to remind them of the real reason why they are bound in holy matrimony. Go on and have that 5th anniversary marriage vows. You deserve it and I wish you a lifetime of happiness.

Not at all, I wish I had done that, or had the guts to do it. I didn't do it even though I wanted it just because i was thinking that people was going to be thinking that it was silly to renew vows after 5 years. Go for it, I'm going to do it next year on my 7th anniversary. I regret not doing it at 5

What's silly is you calling your husband partner. Save that word for the gays- someone is trying to make you insanely politically correct by making it seem like all unions are partnerships. Yours is a MARRIAGE.
Why don't you have a celebration of the marriage just like you said, but don't call it a renewing of the vows- vows don't run out, they don't need renewing.

No! It's definitely not silly! I think it sounds like a great idea. You have a right to have everything go the way you've imagined it, and what better time to orchestrate this than at your 5th year anniversary. I think it sounds really sweet and romantic! Congratulations!

Actually MANY people do it. The most common is after 5, 10, 15, etc...
It is not strange in any way, and if it makes a wife happy, then that is reason enough for most husbands who love their wives. I bet that if you talked to your best friends, they would probably love it.
And if you decide this far in advance, then it should be easy to make sure everything is perfect.
Go for it! You won't be sorry you did it!

I don't believe it is silly at all! As a matter of fact, I was wanting to do the same thing. i got merried two years ago and i hated the way things turned out, but i do have my husband after all the hoopla settled down. so don't think what you feel you want out of life is silly. because what you want is the most sencable thing you could think of. so do what you feel you satisfy you and your husband, not what you think other people thinks or feels. this is for you not them. i say DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!

Renewing vows isn't silly, but that ISN'T another wedding! Don't know what you are thinking! Your wedding was what it was, regardless of the circumstances, and that's it. Renewing wedding vows is just a simple ceremony and blessing, followed by dinner at your home for family and close friends. It is NOT another wedding.... sheesh!

I think it is very sweet that you and your husband want to renew your vows and do it your way! Don't worry about people who think it may be silly. There are too many people getting dirvorced it's nice to see two people who want to celebrate their growing love for one another. Good luck and I hope you have many many happy years together!
