Officiant welcome
We are gathered here today to celebrate one of life’s greatest moments, the vow renewal of two hearts. In this ceremony today we will witness the GROOM/BRIDE and GROOM/BRIDE renew their vows in their marriage.
Today we have come together to witness the new dawn of these two lives. Romance is fun, but true love is something far more and their love has stood the test of time. They desire to reaffirm it and that’s why we are celebrating today.
But today is also a celebration for the rest of us, for it is a pleasure for us to see the love in bloom, and to participate in the renewal of vows of two people so delightfully suited to one another. And to have a couple of cocktails in the process.
So let’s get on with it already!
Exhortation
A good marriage must be created.
In marriage, the “little” things are the big things.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say, “I love you” at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is standing together and facing the world.
It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is not only marrying the right person — it is being the right partner
Vow renewal
[Groom], will you continue to have [Bride] as your wife and continue to live in this happy, loving marriage?
Groom: I WILL
Do you reaffirm your love for her, and will you love, honor and cherish your wife in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all others, be faithful to her for as long as you both shall live?
Do you promise to continue to love, honor, cherish and protect her, and be faithful to her as you have done?
Do you promise not to whine at her when she forgets to take out the trash or pick up her clothes from the floor? And do you promise to continue loving her after she has no teeth left?
Groom-I do
Repeat same for bride.
Ring Exchange (who has the rings) (repeat after me)
There are 3 rings of marriage. The wedding ring, The Engagement ring, and the suffering. We hope the latter can be held to a minimum.
[Bride and Groom], on your wedding day many years ago you exchanged rings as a symbol of the never-ending circle that connects you to the eternal quality of God, unending strength, and unending love! May you always wear your rings as a reminder of your vows to one another, and your commitment to continuing to live in unity, love, and happiness.

Today, we got to that bridge and crossed it. I am so grateful that I get to continue life’s journey with you by my side. Once again, I promise to love you, honor you and keep you, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, for as long as we both live.”
2. Vow renewal for wedding anniversary
“Mark/Grace, 50 years ago, I pledged to you my love and commitment, but it feels just like yesterday. I promised to love you, honor you, comfort and keep you. I pledged to be by your side in sickness and in health, in times of want, and times of plenty, for better or worse, for the rest of our lives. We have had all of those things, and you have been by my side as we created a family, a home, and a life together. Today, at the beginning of our 51st year as husband and wife, in the presence of God, and our family and friends, I renew my vows to you, pledging my eternal love for you, and eagerly awaiting what life may bring us.”
3. Vow renewal after a rough patch
“On our wedding day, I pledged to love you in sickness and in health, and for better or worse. The past year has tested those vows, but our enduring love for one another has prevailed.

Renewing wedding vows takes as many details as planning a wedding itself. From learning how to write wedding vows scouting for the appropriate renewal of vows quotes, and other things. But this isn’t where the main problem lies. The bulk of it lies in first knowing the reason why you should have a marriage vow renewal. Once this gets sorted, the rest follows.
-
Why renew vows?
For many valid reasons. It’s always a pleasure to remind the one whom you promised forever, that you’re still on the same page. It could be by marking specific anniversaries into marriage, after sicknesses, surviving a stressful period, temporary break up, etc. Some couples use this opportunity to have a wedding they couldn’t afford at the time they got married. For them, it’s a do-over in grand style.
-
Who hosts the ceremony?
When it comes to renewing vows, a large number of couples host it themselves. But it could take an interesting twist, and the children can treat their parents to a bow renewal. Friends can also host it for them. This is especially if it coincides with another major event, like one of the pair’s birthday. In another case, the maid of honor, best man or the wedding party at their initial wedding could do the honors.
-
Where to renew vows?
It all depends on your preference as a couple. In your home, at the church, a restaurant, backyard, cliff, mountain top, etc. Couples could also make it destination bound by having it at a getaway spot. This is great for couples who want to take a honeymoon which they didn’t get after their wedding. Now the couple can afford to travel, then the renewal should happen at that destination. In general, there shouldn’t be a fuss about the venue, as it depends on the couple’s preference.
-
When to renew vows?
Anytime! A year, two years, five, ten, fifteen, twenty-six, fifty and more. Vow renewal has no time frame or stamp. Anytime you’re ready to say “I do” again, then break a leg.
-
How to word invitations?
Nothing much with that, as it’s similar to wedding invites. The only difference is that if the couple is hosting, then don’t include the names. Simply invite guests to witness the renewal. If the kids or friends are hosting, then they can cite like “we the children/ friends of… invite you to…”
-
Who officiates?
Anyone can officiate a wedding vow renewal. From friends to children, and others. This is because unlike the real wedding, a wedding renewal has no legal backing. So, enjoy.
-
Wedding party or guest’s necessary?
No, it’s not necessary. You don’t need the best men or bridal party for a wedding renewal. But if you insist, then have it your way. It’s all still beautiful.
As for guests, it all depends on you. It could be a very intimate affair with just the two of you and officiant. You may also invite family members and up to fifty guests. And for couples who had a small wedding, well you could just invite everyone you know.
-
Create a wedding registry?
A wedding vow renewal, although a celebration, is an intimate one. You should not set up a wedding registry. Keep it classy and allow guests to bring gifts at their discretion. If you must set up a registry, make it an opportunity to give to charity.
-
A wedding reception?
Absolutely! But the magnitude of the party lies with you. From a casual backyard get together, to a full-blown ballroom party. As your budget wishes.

Cozy and intimate, be like the Beckhams. At almost twenty years of marriage, they held the vow renewals in their home. It had only six people in attendance. A very private event.

The Osbourne’s, after almost thirty-five years of marriage, took off to Las Vegas for a renewal. It has even more soul because they only just got through an infidelity scandal. Ozzy and Sharon are happier than ever. So, a getaway to somewhere local or out of town, and say those vows again.

Make a glam cake and coat with glitter, to match your taste. Then insert candles or fireworks, the exact number of years you’re celebrating. This will send a message to the guests even without telling. And the retro vibe will set everyone in the mood for some fun.
6. Something rustic

Best for an outdoor wedding vow renewal. Make signage and decor out of old wood, clothes, and banners. The guests will feel the rustic charm as the signage directs them to the venue.
Each vow renewal ceremony script we’ve listed can be used as posted or tweaked. Oh yes, you are free to borrow them for your marriage renewal vows. You will find religious, unique, traditional and funny scripts, all suited for your wedding style. Remember, there are different reasons for renewing vows, and we have samples too.
