"Vow Renewal" is a ritual where two people who are already married reaffirm their vows several years after their wedding. It is a second wedding that originated in the West, where partners who have shared their lives together confirm their love and vows again on milestone years like 10 or 5 years later. ♡
In Japan, Hinano Yoshikawa has made it a topic of conversation ♡
Although there are still not many couples in Japan who hold vow renewals, model Hinano Yoshikawa has gained attention by doing a vow renewal in Hawaii! Isn't it inspiring to reaffirm love multiple times?
The greatest charm of vow renewal is that it is a family affair, where all family members pledge their love. Vow renewals are often held to celebrate anniversaries of marriage, and by that time, many may have children, which allows the whole family to express their love together.*
It is wonderful that not only the bride and groom reaffirm their love, but they can also teach their daughters and sons the depth of their parents' love. There are also moving scenarios where children plan the vow renewal as a way to show appreciation to their parents.♡
The charm of Vow Renewal 2: Say things you can't normally say ♡
Another charm of vow renewal is that it allows you to express feelings that are difficult to convey in everyday life. Even a shy couple can prepare slightly embarrassed lines during this occasion. Use this special time to deeply engrave in your hearts the moments when each other's existence has become a given. ♡
The charm of Vow Renewal 3: It can be held while traveling ♡
Another charm of vow renewal is that it can be celebrated during a trip. Planning it as one of the events during a family vacation to places like Hawaii or Guam is also recommended. You might create another memorable spot together. ♡
The charm of Vow Renewal 4: It allows you to reaffirm the goodness of marriage ♡
Lastly, I want to highlight that vow renewal provides an opportunity to reaffirm that marriage is a wonderful thing. It serves as a chance to reflect on the marriage life you’ve had so far, remembering the challenges you’ve overcome together, and you should feel, "I'm glad I got married!" ♡
The format of vow renewal is flexible! As long as you can have a ceremony to "reaffirm your love," you can choose whatever you like, whether it's a dinner party or a picnic! ♡
By the way, it is common in Western countries to have a small gathering, inviting only about 10 close friends and a pastor to enjoy a cozy atmosphere. ♡
Locations generally include chapels or parks rich in nature overseas, but in Japan, popular plans involve family trips to resorts for vow renewals! Reaffirming vows in a glamorous and extraordinary space is sure to remind you of the fresh feelings you had when you were newlyweds. ♩
You can choose attire that you love! You can, of course, wear the wedding dress or tuxedo you wore at your reception again, but showing a casual elegance with a chic dress or shirt is stylish too. ♡
I want to have another wedding with a Vow Renewal ♡
How did you find this? A vow renewal is for two people who are already married to reaffirm their vows and deepen their family bond. Deciding on a year for the vow renewal after the wedding and walking hand in hand together until that promised day is also a wonderful idea! ♡
