If you have previously had a legally recognised marriage or civil partnership ceremony, you can renew your vows in a civil ceremony.
Renewing your vows is an opportunity to reaffirm your commitment to each other in a personalised ceremony with your loved ones. You can choose to renew your vows in the presence of family and friends, or you may decide to have an intimate ceremony between yourselves.
Some couples, having married abroad, choose to have a renewal of vows ceremony on their return to this country.
A renewal of vows ceremony is a wonderful way to celebrate a special anniversary or a renewed commitment to one another.
