Be Like Heidi Klum: Renew Your Wedding Vows
Monday May 11, 2009
Supermodel Heidi Klum and Seal renewed their wedding vows this weekend, as they've done every year since they first got married in 2005. The internet is buzzing about their "white trash shotgun wedding" theme this year. Heidi's pregnancy apparently inspired the theme, which included cornrowing her hair, pretending to smoke cigarettes, an Elvis impersonator presiding over the ceremony, and Seal wearing a mullet wig.
While I am not at all a fan of the style -- there are many better wedding themes which won't turn your ceremony into a joke-- I do support the idea of renewing your wedding vows.
It's easy for a couple to become complacent in a marriage, resting on comfort of their relationship rather than reinvesting in each other. A vow renewal ceremony is a chance to remind each other and yourself of the commitment you've made to each other, and use specific vows for a renewal ceremony to reaffirm your love.
With their combined wealth, Seal and Heidi Klum are able to throw a big party every year. Perhaps they are "making up" for the fact that their original wedding was an intimate, quickly planned beachside affair. If you're planning your first wedding right now, and, in trying to please your parents or others, have made choices you're now regretting, maybe you should look forward to a vow renewal when you can do things exactly as you want to.

My husband and I are renewing our vows this Labor Day, two years after we had a civil ceremony. He deployed in September 2007, so we had a small ceremony (i.e. us and both sets of parents), and this year we’re doing a big ceremony and reception to celebrate with our family and friends.
My husband and I renew our vows every year. its romantic and we usually do it with just 2 friends but the importance for us in doing it is so that we can have a reminder of how much we love each other and how even though eace year maybe tough we still want to come together and agree that it would have been tougher with out the other.
Nice posting .
