For our 25th, we renewed our vows at the Catholic parish I belong to, during a Tuesday evening mass (that was our actually anniversary date). Since it wasn't a regular weekend mass and also not a Holy Day of any kind, I was able to select all three readings, our family friend who is a Deacon delivered the Gospel and homily and renewed our vows, my son did the 1st reading, daughter did the 2nd and my group provided all the music with all the songs I had selected and I actually sang with them before mass and then after communion I sang "You're Still the One". Our original wedding party was all in attendance as was our immediate family and a few close friends. We had a lovely meal afterwards at a local restaurant in a private room. I made the table settings, party favors and put together two hours worth of music on my Ipod for the dinner. It was wonderful!!!!! |
Thanks!
I happened to accidentally stumble upon the place when i was vacationing with some friends a couple of years ago. When I saw the place, I said "this is where I would like to get married" and a couple years later I did. We're actually planning to fly back next month for our 3 year anniversary. I can't believe how quickly time flies.
Did you sing "You're Still the One" solo? If so...WOW. I much prefer intimate gathering, so I'll probably do something with very close friends and immediate family once I hit the 25th mark...still got a long way to go. I gotta give it to folks that've been married this long.
