Reaffirmation of Vows
A reaffirmation of marriage vows ceremony is a wonderful way to celebrate love, commitment and friendship that has grown deeper over time. Milestone anniversaries are always popular occasions to celebrate, however on any wedding anniversary it is appropriate to renew your original marriage vows to each other. There are no legal documents or requirements involved.
Reaffirmation ceremonies are suitable for couples who have married overseas or interstate and would like to celebrate with family and friends who were unable to attend the marriage ceremony.
Couples who have experienced a crisis in their relationship find reaffirmation ceremonies a meaningful way to reinforce their declaration of love to each other and renew their marriage vows.
It would be my pleasure to help you arrange a personalised reaffirmation ceremony that will create treasured memories for you, and your family and friends.
A reaffirmation ceremony often follows a similar format to a marriage ceremony with the added bonus of being able to include appropriate highlights from the journey you have made together. To everyone present your reaffirmation ceremony will be a touching testimony of your love, dedication and commitment to each other.
I will initially meet with you to discuss the style of ceremony you prefer. I have many resources from which you can choose the special features that will make the ceremony exclusively yours. You may include as many creative touches as you wish to reflect your own individuality and will be encouraged to write your personal renewal vows.
Having loved ones participate in readings, prayers, poems and/or music will further personalise the occasion. Close family or friends may affirm their continued love and support for you both.
The occasion can be as formal or casual as you prefer and held wherever you choose. During the planning process, I will provide all the assistance and support you require via telephone, email or in person to ensure your ceremony is exactly right. If required I will attend a rehearsal on site or at a convenient location.
At the conclusion of the ceremony you will be presented with a Renewal of Vows Certificate and a copy of your ceremony.
