Renewal of Marriage vows
This ceremony is for any married couple wishing to celebrate the renewing of their marriage vows.
The Renewal Of Marriage Vows / Marriage Blessing Ceremony is often used to celebrate a wedding anniversary or for a couple’s desire to renew their commitment to each other, especially after a time of separation or difficulty in marriage. The ceremony is also often used to convert your civil marriage vows with Christian marriage vows. This is commonly known as a Marriage Blessing.
The ceremony can be held anyway: at home/in your garden or very commonly at a community hall or hotel or other appropriate venue with family and friends in attendance. The ceremony would be uniquely and personally arranged in consultation with an experienced minister who would conduct the ceremony, and a special certificate signed in the presence of your two witnesses on the day will be presented to you to mark the special occasion.
Donations dependent upon day of the week and in some cases distance required for travelling.
The Rev. will gladly work with each individual couple for their preferences.
