Your wedding was one of the most important events in your life and you would like to relive the moment? Ceremony, festivity and the desire to say “I do” a second time. What could be more romantic than reuniting a second time with your loved ones by your side. More and more couples have been seduced by the idea of making their love come to light once again. This trend coming straight from the United States has made its way to Corsica. There are as many ways to renew your vows as to say “I love you”. Our team of wedding planners will help and guide you in the organization of renewing your vows.
Why should you renew your wedding vows ?
Nowadays, marriage has a different meaning than it did before. Values have evolved over time. Marriage is no longer necessarily religious because faith doesn’t define commitment. These days, weddings can be symbolic, homosexual or mixed. Renewing your vows can be a way to gather your loved ones who were not present on the big day. Celebrate this eternal union by saying “I Do” once again. Seize the occasion to create the wedding that you’ve always wanted but never had, due to lack of time or financial means. As time goes by, the couple’s financial situation can become more comfortable, so it’s time to offer yourself the wedding of your dreams! A true romantic act, the renewal of your vows is a beautiful proof of love to make your feelings last and to strengthen your couple.
How to say I love you a second time?
There are different ways to renew your wedding vows. If religion occupies an important part in your life, opt for a religious ceremony. In church, your union and your rings will be blessed a second time. On the other hand, you could go for a symbolic ceremony. Led by an officiant or a close friend, this is perfectly suited to your renewal ceremony. This option will give you more freedom to organize your desired celebration and select the venue that suits you! You can also renew your civil vows at City Hall, but find out in advance. During your wedding renewal ceremony, personalize your vows by evoking your years of marriage, the trials encountered over the years as well as your intentions to continue with your spouse. Reaffirm your love with readings, music or rituals of your choice.
When and where should you renew your wedding vows?
You can renew your vows whenever you want! Some people prefer to wait for their wedding anniversary such as the Emerald Wedding (40 years of marriage) or the Golden Wedding (50 years of marriage). Others wait for a particular date that is important to them such as the day they met. There is no rule for choosing the right moment. Concerning the place, Corsica is full of unusual places to celebrate this new union. It is a heavenly destination for a change of scenery close to home with your loved ones. For an intimate reception far from prying eyes, rent a house or a villa with several rooms by the sea, in the middle of a vineyard or in an estate in the heart of nature. For a romantic ceremony, choose the beach, barefoot in the sand under a magnificent sunset. Don’t hesitate to refer to our best addresses to continue the party. For a more adventurous ceremony, go up a mountain. Be careful, depending on the number of guests, the place will not necessarily be the same. All you have to do is choose the place that suits you and that you like to renew your vows!
Keep in mind that your vow renewal will be different from your wedding. Many traditions will be discarded. First and foremost, don’t bury your single life a second time because you are not single anymore! However, you can always organize some activities and have fun with your friends the day before the reception. Also, avoid making a gift list for your guests because you are already married. The same goes for the bouquet toss. Remember, the most important thing is to enjoy yourself and have fun. Our team of wedding planners shares their best ideas for an unforgettable and original vow renewal.
