My husband and me are very happily married, and very committed to each other and our children.Our wedding day was really special, but we've been talking about having a re-commitment ceremony on our 10th wedding
anniversary. We never got the chance to go on a honeymoon, because of time, money and his family visiting. I need opinions here:
1: Should we have a formal re-commitment ceremony (in church with all of the trimmings ), buy new rings, and go on a short trip just him and me without the kids (no longer then 4 days at a bed and breakfast )?
2: Should we have the formal ceremony, and take the kids with us on a 4 day trip?
3: Should we go on a 7-10 day FIRST honeymoon, without the kids, and buy new wedding rings?
4: Should we go on the 7-10 day FIRST honeymoon with the kids,and NOT buy new rings?

I would do a variation of #2 and #3. Take a 6-7 day honeymoon without the kids, but before that have a formal recommitment ceremony (in a church, with some of the trimmings). Don't buy new rings. I just don't like it when people want to "upgrade" their wedding rings. You got married with the rings you have, enjoy them!

a vacation does not include children, they call those a trip. Take the 7-10 away from the kids and family. if the wedding and the rings were good enough for you then, they should still be good enough for you now. Bigger rings does not in any way mean you love each other more or less. Use that money on the trip. Go somewhere and do something you will never forget. A horse drawn carriage ride through Central Park in the fall, Paris in the spring, Vermont in the winter, Fantasy Fest in the keys, a donkey show in Tiajuanna. DO SOMETHING FUN.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but married people shouldn't be having weddings, especially not "with all the trimmings." People will just consider you to be fishing for gifts.
I don't understand why you would want to buy "new" rings. Is something wrong with the old ones? And how can it be a honeymoon if you bring your kids along? That's not a honeymoon at all, it's a family vacation.
I suggest that you choose #5. Don't bring the kids. Don't buy superfluous rings. And DO take that honeymoon, a nice long romantic one to make up for the one you didn't take 10 years ago. The kids will be fine.

I would go on a longer trip as a honeymoon. Don't need to take the kids. Enjoy the time to yourselves.
Don't have a ceremony. If you can, you can have an anniversary party and keep it informal.
Don't buy new wedding rings-- you should wear those for life! If you want new, nicer jewelry you should pick out a different piece. I know people have gotten bigger stones for their engagement rings, which wouldn't be my cup of tea, but it's not improper.

If you went on a honeymoon all you would think about is the kids. Save that option for when the kids are grown.
You can buy new rings for 15th, honeymoon on 20th.
I say option 5: for year 10 take 5 weekend trips(2 days a piece= 10 days) just you and hubby. It gives you something to look forward to, time away from kids--but not too much time, time alone together, and a chance to be alone and as spicy as you want.
Congratulations!

It depends entirely on what you two want to do. I personally would pick #4 (I don't care about the ceremony or the rings, but I looove nice trips) - but your own desires may be different. Figure out what the two of you would be happiest with.
P.S. Yes, having kids with you will technically make it "family vacation", but what's a "honeymoon" anyway after you've been married 10 years? If you love your kids, you will be creating wonderful memories by taking them on vacation with you. My parents say that their most treasured memories are from the times we took vacations together when my brother and I were kids.

I would save the re-commitment ceremony for your 25th anniversary. I say take a short honeymoon (No kids allowed), have an anniversary party if you'd like so that you can involve your children. The ring deal is up to you. Congrats on 10 years!

I say, go on a honeymoon. Without the kids if you can manage that.
I'm not a believer in re-commitment ceremonies. I've been married 31 years. I love him, he loves me, and I don't need a ceremony to tell me that. I believe the minister did a great job the first time.

Option 3 sound best. If you want a HONEYMOON, leave the kids behind. Since I bought a new ring around my 10th, I say go for the rings. If you don't really want new rings, more money for the honeymoon.

. What anime was your first anime? (if you can't remember, just guess) Fruits Basket 2. What was your first anime series/character obsession? Fruits Basket! Tehe 3. What is THE ultimate gaming weapon? I... don't know. Simple shojo girl here. 4. I'll give you an event and you tell me what you think should happen: ~L breaks into the White House and steals all the cake. ~Sasuke Uchiha gets elected president of the NOEP (National Organization of Emo People XP) ~Waffles suddenly fall from the sky, I take over the world, and everybody gets cookies on the days ending in 'y' I like the first and third ones. Then again the third one would also make L happy. L is surely allowed to break into anywhere he wants! He is just amazzing <3 That would be somewhat correct. Sasuke is like the emo king. WAFFLES! COOKIES!! 5. Do you think there are more American, Japanese, or French anime otakus? Lol I'd say Japanese but probably American. French? Idk. 6. Explain to me your feelings toward Twilight. Utter hatred. 7. Would you rather give up anime forever or have to go around everyday and scream BANZAI to everyone you see who has on black. I would do anything but give up anime! 8. Anime hide and seek: who would never be found? L because he's awesome like that. Fun ^_^
