renewal of vows
"Every couple has a great story about how they met, how they wooed, and how they fell in love. That story should absolutely be shared with everyone, and you [Bethel] are committed to making sure that everyone hears it!" - John, Groom
Maybe your initial wedding wasn't exactly "the perfect day" you would have planned, or you just desire to renew the special feelings you have for one another, especially on a special anniversary. A renewal of vows ceremony is the perfect option! Invite family and friends, and create a new special day in which you and your spouse renew the vows you made to each other, however many years ago.
In preparation, we will work together to create a personal ceremony that reflects the love you felt for each other as bride and groom, and how that love has grown and matured through your years together. If you have children, we can definitely make them a part of this celebration of the life you have bult together, if you would like.
Whether you are spiritual, inter-faith, non-religious, religious, or somewhere in between, I am committed to creating a personalized ceremony that incorporates your beliefs and values.
