CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If both people are big enough Star Trek fans, then why not have a Star Trek wedding from the get-go?
Vow renewal doesn't have great connotations for me. At least not in the "once was great, so twice should be even better" sense. This is probably because most couples I've known who've renewed their vows did so as a part of righting something that went wrong in the marriage. I'd be open to it as a part of reconciliation, but it probably wouldn't occur to me otherwise. Of course, that doesn't mean others are necessarily doing it for that reason. It's a big world, and cultures vary.

All that I need, is a song in my heart. . .
possibly yes but it would have to be a ways down the road and for a significant anniversary, maybe 10th or 25th 
oh and my thinking isn't to right some wrong in the marriage, just because it would be romantic, especially just to do something small and simple maybe outside like I would have done if it weren't for our families.

I never knew that people thought that there was anything negative about or associated with a vow renewal before this thread
. I don't think there is anything wrong with it and also think it's romantic. Not really concerned with doing it right now or if ever, but I sure don't judge other couples that choose to renew their vows to one another.

I would never consider a vow renewal. It's just yet another thing in life to waste money on We didn't even really have much of a wedding, again because it didn't make any financial sense to us. I don't need to have elaborate affairs costing thousands of dollars.. just need my husband.

This October it'll be eight years since my bride and I were wed. Since then, we've made it a tradition to find a wedding chapel, and rent it for the minimum, usually an hour, just for us. We don't just have a renewal of vows, we have a full-blown wedding. We show up, my bride in her bridal gown, veil, the whole nine yards, and me fully tuxed and bow tied. Beside the minister, we also have the organist to play The Wedding March and other wedding music. The only thing we do differently is we walk arm-in-arm down the aisle together. We're hopelessly romantic, and for us a wedding is the ultimate way of celebrating our marriage.
An aside, a weekend or two ago, my bride had to go into work for a while, so I ended up going to church myself. We left at the same time, so she saw me leave wearing a navy blue three-piece suit, starched white shirt, and a navy blue bow tie. Later I get home and walk in to find her in her bridal gown and veil! Doesn't have to be an anniversary for us to feel romantic!

Here's me, a very nervous bridegroom, with my beautiful bride on my arm, waiting for them to tell us it's time to start our annual wedding on one of our anniversaries. Must have had a few minutes to go, judging from the fact that my bride's blusher hasn't been pulled down over her face yet. She's very particular about having her blusher down over her face throughout the wedding so her bridegroom can lift it to kiss the bride!
