Renewing wedding vows.....yes? no? why?

Maybe some, in hindsight, aren't happy with the vows they made... possibly they don't like the word 'obey' or something. I've always thought it was more rewriting their wedding vows rather than renewing.

I kept my vows, the other half didn't

not you again. Your like a bad penny or bad smell.

It is a strange thing to do. I’ve never really understood why people feel the need, unless they’ve had a major wobble, and think they need to start again.

After 15 happy years with Jannie she can see no reason why she should legally saddle herself with me for life,

She prefers to do it on a voluntary basis 😊

So they can have a second honey moon?

My Uncle was deeply religious and was dying. So he renewed his vows with his wife and children and extended family present before he died. It was a way of showing they were still committed to each other, in the presence of friends and family, right up till death did they part.

Me and Mrs ND renewed our vows in 2018, after 20 years of marriage. Best thing I ever did, apart from our actual wedding itself - and those of you who know my circumstances will understand why I say that.
A great day, a chance to celebrate with family and friends (including new ones who hadn't been there the first time) and we even had a pork pie "cake".

But if it's not for you, then that's also fine.

I stood in front of friends and families and took the oath, "'til Death do us part", so why would I want to do it a second time?

Anyway how do people play away? I couldn't stand the stress and Mrs Gti would smell a rat on day one.

A pal of mine said after thirty years of marriage.It only seems like yesterday,and you know what an awful day yesterday was.I know i know i replied i have been happily married twelve years.Which is not bad out of thirty.

the bit when they say...…. for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health...….I thought it was a multiple choice question

Never found any need to renew even after nearly 60 years together.
