Wedding Was Not Quite How It Should Have Been

Wedding Was Not Quite How It Should Have Been

Wow where do I start?
Well first of all, I never got to have my dress!! That is a big issue for me!! Second we were married outside and guest were wandering everywhere. My husband's best man did not give us our introduction as man and wife.

He actually ended up taking off his tux and walked around shirtless with khaki pants!! The photographers were ok but left early because they had another event to go to. But I did not know this until they came up to me and said "We have to go. We have another event to go to". So I had to rush through the whole reception!

The music that was played was music that my GRANDPARENTS picked out. The only thing that actually went ok was my attendants looked very nice and my husband was very handsome! This has been a topic over the 5 yrs my husband and I have been married. We finally decided to have a vow renewal/ wedding re do. But then I started getting all kinds of opinions. now I am not sure what the right thing to do is. We were thinking of having a small intimate but yet romantic and elegant ceremony and reception. But I am afraid my family won't approve, and my family means a lot to me. So what they feel matters. I guess I am looking for approval. We have the money to have the event, but I feel bad for spending it on that rather than something else for our future. Do you think it is a good idea to go forward with the whole thing?
Thank you for your time.

Your Vow Renewal
by: Nisha- Editor

Hi Brandy,

Congratulations on 5 years of martial bliss. The wonderful thing about a vow renewal, is that it is a way to show the commitment of your love for each other. So even if your marriage started on the wrong foot, you can give a fresh renewal to your wedding day. Since your family is very important to you, the best thing to do is to ask how they would feel about a vow renewal. You can explain your feelings to them and get their input on the situation. But YOUR opinion is the one that matters the most. Once you know where they stand, you can decide what the most important thing is to you. What would make you happy? If your fears about your family not wanting to attend are correct...would it stop you from having a vow renewal the way you want? Or are you ok with a smaller, more intimate renewal that involves just you and your husband with a select few others? Hopefully your family understands your feelings and wishes. Best of luck with your vow renewal plans.
