Do you think it's weird to have a private vow renewal ceremony after one year of marriage?
Vow renewal. Is this weird?

aminata Thanks for your feedback.
Well, I'm the one who wants a private vow renewal. Hubby and I have had no issues. I just think it's a romantic thing to do. Pledging your love to each other in a private romantic setting. Dh thinks it's weird though... I should have said that in my original post.
I'd like to do it in a garden in the area with an officiant who is close to me. I just like the intimacy and romanticism of it all. The other reason is that, I wanted to elope for our wedding. However, I gave into the wishes of dh and family member by having a wedding that included family. But part of me still craves that private moment. Hence the reason the desire for a private vow renewal... DH just thinks the whole thing is weird though since we've had no issues, etc.

I think an intimate renewal with just the 2 of you and officiant sounds wonderfully romantic. I think he should do it for you, since you did the large wedding for him.
We are having a private vow renewal in Vegas for our 10 year anniversary(next month). We went to the courthouse when we got married so this is my white dress moment. Our family is all on the east coast so it will be us and our 2 children. I am excited. I wanted to do it at 5 years but my husband didn't want to, so I waited until he got down on one knee and ask me to marry him again.

After reading your explanation, I think it's a terrific idea!
I gave in too and had a semi-private ceremony instead of the private one I wanted to please DH and his family. 
Have you explained the importance of that private ceremony to your DH? Does he understand that you value the intimacy and ability to vow love for one another without an audience or the big hoopla? I would tell him that instead of worrying about renewing your vows because something bad happens or wait until it happens, you should focus on all the good that's happened in a year.

I don't know, it seems like overkill after one year. After ten years or something, I could see it being nice. I'm not an overly romantic type of person though.

Your marriage, your rules. Sounds cute and I like the privacy of it.
I thought about doing a renewal for our 20th next week, but I'm not romantic like that and dh is just going along with what I want.
You sound like a romantic, so go for it!

Actually I don't think it's weird, either. DH wants us to do one somewhere romantic like Hawaii, just the 2 of us.
