Vow Renewal Ceremony - Already a Change in Plans

Okay since I set the first date, I have found out that my son-in-law will not be home that weekend, so we are changing the date.  The new date is April 2, 2011.  I've reserved the church, but so far not the fellowship hall, because in all honesty, I would like to be able to dance this time around.  My son in law, Adrian, has promised to dance with me, and I enjoy dancing.  I don't see it as sinful, although I'm sure there are quite a few Christians who would disagree.  Now I'm not talking about dirty dancing (Thanks Patrick Swayze), I'm talking about a little two step, maybe a waltz and some line dancing.  Nothing dramatic, no hip hop mess, or rap or heavy metal music.  I like the older country and western songs and a lot of the new country and western music.  Now if renting the community center is not reasonable, we will just stay in the fellowship hall, listen to music and have cake and punch...

So what is the next step?  Well I know it is a ways off, but there are the holidays coming up, and I want to make sure I get as much taken care of before then so there will be a lot less stress.  I'm looking at renting the Rose Community Center for the after party or reception or whatever you want to call it.  There will be punch, cake, coffee, tea, sodas, and water and maybe some finger foods.  I'm still working on that part.  So I'm still looking for suggestions on vows or should I just stick with the traditional ones?  I guess this is it for now, will keep everyone updated, and for all my friends and family, everyone is invited. I'm going to be emailing invitations, so if I don't have you as a friend on Facebook, or in my email contacts, send me a msg, leave me a comment, or text me with your info...

Have a God Filled Day, Be Blessed.  Love, L

Renewing Our Vows

We have only been married 4 years, but our 5th wedding anniversary is March 31st, 2011.  Our lives have changed a lot during the last few years and we are going to renew our vows.  We have reserved the church for as close to our anniversary as possible, so the date is currently set for March 26th, 2011.  Our first ceremony was a western motif.  I didn't wear a wedding dress because I couldn't see spending an enormous amount of money for a dress I was going to wear once. I thought about wearing one this time, and I even tried my daughters on today, but think, I'm just going to buy a nice formal dress or outfit and have my husband wear a very nice suit.  I'm not going do a lot of decorating in the church but the other thing is we had the reception at the church and so there was no dancing when we got married.  I'm kind of thinking that I want some music and dancing this time. 

However, I'm not sure how or what else I want the ceremony to be.  I've been reading a lot of information from the Internet about writing our vows, having the same witnesses to stand up with us, etc...  I don't know that I need that much of a formal ceremony.  I want everyone to be invited from the church, that wants to attend.  There won't be any liquor because neither of us drink and we are Christians, and I don't think Christians should drink, even if it is only a glass of wine here or there. 

I guess what I'm getting at is does anyone have any suggestions.  I want it to be a family and friends affair, with music, fun, a cake, punch, coffee, soft drinks and tea and maybe some finger foods.  As for as the dancing part, we will have to rent either the Rose Community Center (not sure that is the right name) or a building on the fair grounds, because there is nothing bigger in town that would allow for dancing, and I don't want to have to drive anywhere else.   

If anyone has renewed their wedding vows, I'm looking for some ideas.  All help is appreciated.  Hope everyone has a God Filled day, and a blessed week.  Love, L.
