Renewal Of Vows

My husband and I have been married for 14 yrs. We have always talked about renewing our vows. Lately we have been discussing it more seriously, possible planning to do it within 2-3 yrs My problem is...we had a small traditional once. Even though I only have one pic. To show, because I lost my wedding book. Now we would like to have a nice ceremony, including things we had to sacrifice before. In 2001 our bond as a family grew with the founding of leukemia in our son. I really want to renew our vows...the whole 9 yards(so to speak).not fairytelish, however nice elegant, very spirtual, with attendents(whom have grown with us) & the standing of our kids 2 boys : 2 girls beside. I also want the orginal wedding party recognize ,either escorted down the aisle with special seating or mention on program. It would have been nice to have a lawn ceremony, however we married in Jan. So its cold then. I really would appreciate some imput, to if this a bit to dreamy for a 2nd wedding? How should I go about planning? And just imformation in general

Wow,
Interesing. My wife and I wedded via the justice of the peace 14yrs agod. We had so many obstacles to having a church wedding celebration, but hey, the day will finally arrive on Oct 23. I`m so in love with my wife, and I want to give her that special day that she has always longed for and deserves, but never mentioned. Its going to be awsome.

I would encourage you to seek out your `dream` wedding. Renewal of your vows is a way of saying "Even after all these years and everything we have been though, I still choose you!" This time around you have the understanding of everything you want and don`t want in your wedding. Depending on your location, your dream wedding - or something close to it - can still be a reality.
