Proposals and Vows

For couples who have been together for some time and are celebrating a Renewal of Vows Ceremony, the choice of which vows to say can be a tough one. Are you both going to say your original vows that you said during your wedding ceremony to promote a feeling of nostalgia, a continuation of an ongoing commitment, or just to prove that you can still remember them after all these years.

On the other hand, you and your partner have shared many life experiences together since your wedding, and you may want to totally incorporate them into your vows. A hybrid version could contain both: the best from your past vows and your future promises and commitments to each other.

In the end it is a personal decision, and one I have thought about when I am in that situation. I decided to just go with something totally new; as my life changed beyond explanation daily with the new adventures my husband brings me. As long as the words come from inside and are truthful, that is all that counts.
