Five years on, say it again under a glowing sunset.
Short summer reads…
A 5 year vow renewal is a lovely way to pause before life gets even busier. You know each other far better than you did on your wedding day, and your promises can grow to match.
I'm Leon of Twilight Ceremonies, an accredited celebrant and photographer based in Llandudno. Here is why five years works so well, and how to mark it.
Why Five Years Is a Good Time
By five years, many couples have moved home, changed jobs or started a family. Renewing now lets your vows catch up with the life you are actually living, while your wedding still feels close.
Simple Ideas for Your Ceremony
Read your original vows, then the new ones, so you can hear how much has changed. Bring your children to stand with you, or keep it to just the two of you. The 5th is traditionally the wood anniversary, so some couples bring a small wooden keepsake with their initials and wedding date.
A Ceremony That Is Yours
Every renewal is celebrant-led and can be as personal as you like. How a vow renewal ceremony is put together explains how that works.
Choose a Summer Evening
Twilight Ceremonies runs exclusively in the summer, when sunsets linger. The sands at Talacre or a quiet bay on the Llŷn each make a beautiful setting.
Two Ways to Celebrate
Renewal of Vows is £250.00: we meet, craft your vows together and print them on keepsake vow cards, then I officiate your ceremony. The Sunset Experience is £2,500.00, adding a beach picnic, photography and video, Polaroids on the evening and transport. Both are on the offerings page.
Anywhere You Choose
North Wales is home, but you can choose anywhere: elsewhere in the UK or abroad.
Five years is a beginning worth celebrating. Tell me about your first five years and we will plan your summer evening together.
Five years down, and all the best ones still to come.
