Of course! The party can be any style, from a casual backyard barbeque to an intimate family dinner to a cocktail party or dinner as large and complex as a traditional wedding reception. There can be dancing, a cake — the works. You might bring along your original wedding album for guests to take a trip down memory lane (if you’ve just eloped, bring the recent pictures), as well as family photos through the years of your marriage.

This ceremony will be a symbol of looking forward to many more years together. Your vows will reflect a mature love blessed with all the joys and challenges of the years. It will reflect what you have become in your years together. It is a fun way to rejuvenate your marriage and to begin your relationship again.

Whether you’ve just returned from eloping in Jamaica or you’re about to celebrate your 25th blissful year of marriage, renewing your vows — also called a reaffirmation ceremony — might be on the brain. Maybe you want to say again the words you said last week on the beach, in front of all your nearest and dearest. Or you’d like to refer to history, reminding yourselves of what you promised all those years ago. Here are renewal how-tos:

You’ll exchange vows, recalling what you said when you were first married. It’s meaningful to write original vows, so you’ll be expressing exactly how you feel. This is an opportunity for both of you to really think about how you feel about your relationship, if the last time you exchanged vows was decades ago. After you’ve both spoken, exchange rings.

These can be your original bands with new engravings (perhaps the date of your vow renewal or a cute quote like, “I Love You, Part II”) or new rings purchased expressly for the reaffirmation (a great time to upgrade those bands). Children, close relatives, and special friends can do readings, and you can have meaningful music playing, just as you would at a wedding ceremony.
