Choose your year, then say it again under a glowing sunset.
Short summer reads…
When should you renew your vows? Whenever it feels right to you both. There is no rule that says it has to be a big round number, and no limit on how often you can do it.
I'm Leon of Twilight Ceremonies, an accredited celebrant and photographer based in Llandudno. Here is how I would think about the timing.
There Is No Right Anniversary
Some couples renew at ten or twenty-five years, others after a hard year they came through together, others simply because life has changed. A renewal marks where you are now, so any year can hold one.

Why Wait Till Your 30th?
Why wait till your 30th when you can celebrate your first or second year? Early on, your wedding is still fresh, your vows are still close to the surface and you are building the habits of your marriage. Why wait for a milestone goes deeper into celebrating early.
How Often Can You Renew?
As often as you like. Some couples choose a ceremony every few years and a quiet sunset evening in between. A couples sunset shoot, from £95.00, is a gentle way to mark a year without a full ceremony.
Plan for a Summer Evening
Twilight Ceremonies run in summer, so the light is long and warm. We write your ceremony together over the months before, and on the evening you receive ten Polaroids. The Sunset Vow Renewal is £450.00 on the live offerings page.
If You Eloped Recently
If you married with Elope with Leon, your package already includes either a free sunset celebration or 15% off. It never expires, so the first summer after you marry is a lovely time to use it.
Any Place, Any Year
Choose the Great Orme, Rhosneigr, Criccieth or the Clwydian Range, or go anywhere else: your garden, your wedding spot, elsewhere in the UK or abroad.
Whichever year you choose, the evening will be yours. When you are ready, book a sunset wedding anniversary and pick your summer.
Any year is the right year to say it all again.
