My parents have been married for 26 yrs. They were married in there apartment back in 81, no wedding dress or anything special so my dad wants to surprise my mom and have a vow renewal. My sister and I are doing most of the work bc my dad works fulltime and runs a small business on the side..and to be honest he just aint good at the romantic things lol
Can anyone please give me some tips or a check list of what I need to do and any ideas??
Thanks a bunch

She has been hinting about one since the day they got married lol She is practically my size so finding something to wear could be pretty easy

#1 thing, I would find out if your mom is even up for this vow renewal. Some people would rather be prepared than surprised. I'm not sure how long this surprise will be kept from her - the planning really depends on how much she would be involved and at what point. Also, are you thinking making the whole thing kinda like a wedding, or more like a party? Would you be doing it at home or renting a place somewhere? Are you inviting a lot of people, or is it just family? There are lots of possibilities, depending on what you have in mind.

For tips and checklists go to www.theknot.com or search for wedding ceremony sites.
Here's the important things -
Choose a location for the ceremony (church or other special place)
Who will perform the ceremony? Since they are already leagally married, this can actually be anybody - perhaps someone very close to them. It would be a nice touch if you could find the two people who stood up for them, the witnesses, to their first marriage to be there again.
Music - perhaps your parents favorite song, or something with lyrics along the lines of still choosing the same person.
If he is surprising her, how will she have the appropriate attire? Could you pick it out and purchase for her?
Flowers - food for reception/party - cake.

I'd suggest a book called The Ultimate Wedding & Ceremony Workbook for the Planning Impaired. I recommend it to all of my small ceremony couples. It also has vow renewal ideas, too.
