Express your love and commitment

Renewal of Marriage Vows

Whether you simply wish to celebrate your life together or a special anniversary, renewing your marriage vows is a wonderful way to express your love and devotion for each other. Some couples use this occasion to acknowledge their strength through tough times. Others use this event to create the dream wedding ceremony they were never able to have.

As this is a very personal ceremony, every detail will be carefully planned and tailored specially to you – the couple and your family members. You can choose from an infinite choice of places in which to hold your ceremony, as there are no legal restrictions on this type of ceremony. Celebrate your commitment to each other by creating a memorable day that reflects your life journey together.

Your special day, just the way you like it …

Whether you intend on holding a small intimate event, or you’re looking to celebrate overseas on a white sandy beach, the choice is always yours. I will help you plan and design every element to ensure that your day is uniquely tailored to reflect your wishes and aspirations.

You may decide to enjoy your day on your own, or you may wish to include family members and children. If you would like your family and friends to celebrate your love and commitment, why not involve them in your ceremony too? As well as making promises to each other, you can make promises to children and step-children, bringing families together in a truly beautiful way.

Choose your perfect day

With limitless options for renewing your vows, every aspect of your day will be tailored exactly to your wishes and the content will be written specially for you. Why not consider the following ideas?

Combine with a baby naming ceremony – if you have recently welcomed a new baby into your life, you may choose to combine renewing your vows with a baby naming ceremony. As your special event is always bespoke, these ceremonies can be combined to create a joint celebration for your family.

Mini handfasting – this traditional ceremony symbolises the strength of your vows and can be added to your ceremony. Choose whether your vows are “for a lifetime”, “for all of eternity” or “for long as love shall last”.

Jumping of the Broom – this symbolic ‘sweeping’ the way ahead is a wonderfully emotive way to express the renewed strength in your relationship as a couple.

Harmony Glass – perfect for a milestone anniversary, this adapted version of the Sand Ceremony uses glass crystals instead of sand. Crystals are sent to a glass artisan who will create unique hand-blown glass artefacts for you to honour this special occasion – only available to Cariad Personal Ceremonies.

“What a wonderful experience we had on my 70^th birthday, our Wedding Vow Renewal celebrating 46 years of marriage was attended by close friends and family. Ali made it so special for just us. Everyone said what a perfect beautiful ceremony it was, and we are so grateful to her for making it so personal to both of us. The sand ceremony was awesome.”

Loss and love

When life has been challenging, you may choose to remember lost loved ones including babies. I worked with one couple who wished to move forward by recognising their sad memories. Together, we created a combined ceremony that celebrated their marriage vows and included naming all of their three existing children. However, we also recognised the loss of their babies. At their venue, the inside of the marquee was beautifully decorated with so many special, personalised touches. We held a sand ceremony for the couple and the children, choosing colours to remember the loss of the two babies. This special ceremony symbolised a fresh start for the family. At the end of the event, real butterflies were released, as well as pink and blue balloons. Each child was gifted a book (‘Little chick flies to the moon’), so they could record their own personal dreams, which they had not been able to focus on due to anguish and sadness.
