Were going to have a renewal of vows for our 10th wedding anniversary. Weve narrowed it down to a few places. I am considering leaving our children at home with a sitter while hubby and me go on a private get-away without the kids(weve never taken a honeymoon or spent a night away from them). He wants the kids to be in the ceremony. I'm not sure if I want the same thing that he does. I need some advice or suggestions as to what to do?

Well seems how you haven't had any time away from them it sounds like its long over due to have some time for you and your hubby. My son is staying with his grandparents right now sadly due to a naval commitment but I will be getting him before mine and my husbands "renewal" next year.... I'm going to include my son in the wedding but he will stay with family after that so we can have a "makeshift" honeymoon.
Best of luck to you!

How old are your kids? Are they going to embarass you to death during the ceremony? Because this is such a wonderful thing you are doing, I would not include the children, but I would have them in the very front row as they are being cared for by someone. On your honeymoon, make sure the kids are with someone you trust with your life. Have a good time and don't worry about the kids. They will be there when you get back home. Congratulations to you.

Why not take them to the ceremony but leave them home for the honeymoon? I think having them at the ceremony would make it so much more special. Especially if you and hubby are both the biological parents. How dear.

Of course we would include the children! Have a ceremony or blessing at a church or another location, then a dinner and a nice anniversary party at your home for your family and close friends.
Your husband is right here, your children should totally be able to attend.

Let the children be there for the renewal....that's a very special time.
You may also make them a part of the ceremony because they're part of what is now your family.
Of course they shouldn't be included on the honeymoon.

i would want my kids to be in the ceremony but not on the honeymoon because that is suppossed to be time alone with my loved one, and as to that i would at least leave them with family where i know for sure they would feel more comfortable being around than a sitter that they don't know

Well, first of all, congratulations on your 10th anniversary. I wish i was married. Would be fun. Im a drunk who sits at home all day and smoke cigarettes and my house smells like rotten cats. But anyways, buy the kids a.. what is it now? a Xbox? is that what they have now? and well, let them play it till they are tired, then put them to bed. Then come and read this suggestion. Let them eat cake at your wedding, then go on a honeymoon, by yourself. Good luck to you all.

I think you should ALL be involved in the wedding. Is it fair for the kids to stay home? They are as much a part of your family as you and your husband. You can always take the honeymoon without the kids.
Personally, I think you are being very selfish and taking your regrets of not having the perfect wedding the first time out on your kids.
Sorry

Include the kids in the renewal. Leave them with the sitter for the get-away! That way you can make everyone happy!
