They had a second reason, Sharon had just survived a serious bout with colon cancer. Nothing causes us to reflect on where we are, how far we have come, and where we are going like a major medical crisis.

As renewing wedding vows is not a legally binding ceremony, the etiquette is not nearly as formal as for the initial wedding. For instance there is no need for a licensed Officiant. Therefore the Officiant can be anyone -- one of your children, a close friend or a licensed Officiant if you like.

Also there is no call for presents or other wedding functions like bachelor or bachelorette parties. In fact they may be frowned upon. You want the presence of your friends and relatives not their presents!

You should make it clear that you don't want presents either on the formal invitation or by word of mouth, for instance, on acceptance of the invitation.

The structure of the renewing vow ceremony itself and what is said is largely up to you. You can use your original vows as the basis of the renewing marriage vow ceremony, or you can write or have something written especially for the occasion.

Your children and parents can be included in the ceremony by having a family unity ceremony as part of the renewing vows proceedings. Using a unity ceremony can help bind the family together so that you go forward with a renewed commitment to each other.

A unity sand ceremony is a wonderful way to express family unity and it has the advantage of giving you a beautiful physical memento of the commitments made on the happy day.

The unity sand ceremony is based on ages old American Indian or Hawaiian wedding ceremonies. It signifies the joining of two lives into one by the pouring of different colored sands by the two people into a single unity jar. This gives a pattern from the blending of the colors and a lasting memento of the occasion.

You choose how your renewing wedding vows goes. You are in charge.
