FFing Enigma
Our 5th anniversary is next year & we're halfway considering a vow renewal and party for a pretty selfish reason: we didn't have a wedding and as a result got shafted out of wedding presents </kinda greedy> OTOH I didn't want a wedding because I didn't want the headaches that come with one; can't help but think a renewal would be full of 'em too.
Vegas - Johnny
Vegas won't give us presents, Johnny, she's just a little puppy dog! ;-) Plus we're going next month, not to mention none of our family would go with us. - FFing Enigma
Your Right. I got Married in Vegas and it didn't give me any presents. - Brent - Yes I am
We got a ton of stuff at our wedding. If you can swing a second chance at it, I would recommend it. - Alex Scrivener
Me an my wife renew our wedding every year - keeps the marriage nice and flexible without having to deal with the rules we started out with 16 years ago. Good choice on your part, well the prezzies are always fun - but this also gives you a chance to really take a look at your relationship and work out what's next. - Dan owns Comicsforge.com
We also got a ton of stuff (including a dart board). and our 5 year is also next year (we however, will not be renewing - we'll be going to Vegas!) - Nathalie
Gee, what some people will do for a toaster. ;-) I say get it while the getting is good. Toast rules. - Eban Crawford
Yup, that's the deal. You plan everything, hire the hall and the band, feed us, and we bring the presents! - Edward Zwart
Knocking up = not an option. Wonder if we can register for a vasectomy? Honestly, that's about the only thing we could actually use now: we've got all the other "present-y" stuff. I think we may have missed our opportunity =( - FFing Enigma
As I understand it presents are neither required nor should be expected at a vow renewal ceremony. You might find most people don't show up with gifts, Tina. - Soup in a TARDIS
It's more the two of us joking around more than anything, Soup. Several of our family members were displeased with how we chose to marry and the lack of gifts felt like a 'punishment' of sorts for not having an actual wedding. We were tossing around the idea of a vow renewal to try and appease those family members but realize that we'll have all the headaches of an actual wedding but none of the "payoff" so to speak. - FFing Enigma
Your family registered displeasure with how you chose to marry? WTH? How rude of them. I'm sorry they did that - they should have just been happy for you. - Soup in a TARDIS
It's because we got married without telling anyone or having a ceremony, essentially we eloped without leaving town. I was leaving the country for a month for work and we realized he'd have no rights to visit me in a hospital if something happened: we'd talked about getting married at length already so it just seemed like the right thing to do. Apparently everyone else felt like they missed out, though... - FFing Enigma
20th anniversary next month. Going to spend 2 weeks in Key West. - Andy Dustman
