Me and my husband want to renew our wedding vows.He wants to do it this year because it will be our 10 years.But I say we don not have the money right now because of vacations and the kids birthdays and christmas.So I want to wait and plan.I say on our 15 year anniversary.I would like to do it in three years so then it would be our 13th anniversary and the number 3 is our lucky number.What do you think?I know people renew their weddind vows on 5 marks such as 5,10 ,15 etc.Would it be ok to not do it on a 5 mark?

Renewing your vows needs to come from your hearts - not be based on a time-line or budget.
The purpose of renewing vows is to say to the person if I had it to do over I would still want you. You can do that with out an expensive party. The most meaningful vow renewals are typically done because the couple has been through a rough spot.
Anniversaries are also celebrated on any year without the vows.

You can renew your vows at any time during your marital relationship. Your vows are just that a vow of your continued devotion, love, respect and honor for each other. I think that you and your husband should discussed why you are doing this and place a priority on it so that you both are on the same page. It sounds like you desire to have a mini-wedding which will cost money that may or may not be budgeted. Talk about how important this is and what your desire for the moment may be so that you both are seeing the same thing. There is no formula for when you should renew. People renew for different reasons, such as they may have eloped, they started off rocky, they may be born again or just want to confess their love and appreciation before their friends and family. Whatever your reasons are do it in your timing. JL

You can "renew your wedding vows" any day of the week . any week of the year . . or any year in your life. It is your decision, there are no rules or regulations, it is your choice.
It does not make any difference if it is your first anniversary or your 43rd anniversary. And it does not even have to be your anniversary, you can "renew your vows" any time, any place. On more than one occasion I have conducted "renewal of vows" ceremonies on Valentine's Day . . birthdays . . New Year's Eve . . moving into a brand new home . . or when one of the partners was seriously ill.

At 10 I think they are still pretty fresh, I personally only like when older couples do them at their 25th or 50th. I would also tend to think that if someone did them on their 13th, like you are wanting, that they couple has recently been through some rough times and are renewing their commitment after the fact. So just for that I would wait for a 5 year mark, since you dont see them usually on the not big anniversaries, I would probably think it a bit odd and wonder what went down that necessitated a renewal.

You can renew your vows with out it costing you an arm and a leg. Get a JP or a clergy person to perform the ceremony in your yard or town park and have a reception in the same place or in your home or apartment of finger sandwiches, champagne or a punch and of course a cake. I bet the whole thing will cost you less than $200.00.
I think it is usually done on the tenth anniversary or the twenty-fifth one.
Do it now and don't wait.

I don't understand the whole renewing your wedding vows thing. If it was good the first time then why do it again?
A lot of people tend to think that people who renew their wedding vows are having trouble in their marriage and are trying to get a fresh start.
Why dont you just have a nice anniversary party with your close friends and family?

No, there is not any set time, yet whilst it replaced into me, i could wait till your 5 365 days anniversary. I merely like issues in increments of 5 or 10....i think of this is greater effective (i.e., 5 365 days anniversary; 10 365 days anniversary; 20 365 days annivesary, and so on.)

It used to be only on the 25th, then people started doing it on the 10th. I think if there's a reason for you to do it, go ahead. But just since you mentioned you don't have money for it -- it's no more expensive than just having people over to your home for dinner and a party. It's not "another wedding"! You would just have the ceremony at a church or other location, followed by dinner at your home for close family and friends. That's all it is.

If wasting money renewing your wedding vows is what you want you can do it whenever and as often as you like. Here in Las Vegas you can just do the drive thru wedding service. Doesn't cost that much and you can do it while your on vacation.
Nothing says I love you like Elvish. Thank you, thank you very much.

I don't understand why it has to cost any money to renew a vow; in fact, I don't see why it is necessary at all- a vow is a vow, eternally.
Fretting over rituals can lead to undue stress.
But, if thirteen is your lucky number, you should probably do it then!
