Second Time Around

In two weeks, my husband and I will renew our vows on our 25th wedding anniversary. Our first wedding consisted of 4 people: myself, my husband, his 10-year-old son, and my best girlfriend. We had a small ceremony because it was a second marriage for us both. The ceremony and informal gathering at our home were simple, meaningful, and memorable.

It’s 25 years later, and we’ve decided we deserve to party down! There’s been lots of good over the years: good health, vacations, promotions, children’s births, and some not so good: our son’s neurosurgery, a job loss, the loss of our house to a fire, and the death of close family members. Through the ups and downs of life, we have worked hard to keep our relationship a top priority and we both agree – we’ve succeeded. So at this notable benchmark in our marriage, it feels only right to stop and recognize our deep love and devotion to one another. It’s a time to celebrate the fruits of our labor with family, friends, and most importantly, with each other.

Spread the love

    It;s amazing that you really value your relationship a lot. And renewing your vows is something not most people who are married are doing. You may serve as an example and with all the ups and downs in your life, you will for sure have a great life a head because you were able to respond to it accordingly.-From your Life Coach

    Love is sweeter the second time around. And if you renew your vows, it means you are really in love with each other for long years and that is worth a celebration. Like we all know that less people only survived long in their marriage. Glad, you made it as a good example to some.- Rescue Dogs Owner.
