What is a Renewal of Marriage Vows Ceremony?
This ceremony is for any married couple who
wish to celebrate their relationship by renewing their
marriage vows. They are often associated with special
wedding anniversaries, but are appropriate for any couple
at any stage of their marriage. It is sometimes especially
relevant for a couple who may have been through a period of
difficulty in their relationship and is an opportunity to
renew their commitment to one another.
A renewal ceremony offers
couples the opportunity to reaffirm their commitment to
each other in a formal and meaningful ceremony. You may
want a totally private ceremony, just the two of you, or
you may decide to renew your marriage promises in front of
your family and friends. Whatever you decide, you will be
given the opportunity to choose your own ceremony so that
it will be a personal and truly memorable occasion.
All ceremonies are of a
non-religious nature and neither the renewal ceremony nor
any document issued following the ceremony has any legal
significance and as such is not legally binding. The
ceremony will be conducted by a 'celebrant' who will not be
acting in any legal or official capacity. However, she will
be offering her help, advice and expertise to make your
ceremony an enjoyable and meaningful event.
Where Can Ceremonies Be Held?
Renewal Ceremonies can be held at Rotherham Register
Office or in any other venue with a suitable function room
and holding a public entertainment licence such as hotels,
parish rooms/civic centres etc. Renewal Ceremonies are
available throughout South Yorkshire. If your local
Register Office does not provide this service it may be
possible to arrange for a celebrant from Rotherham to
attend to conduct the ceremony for you. Unfortunately, we
are not able to attend at ceremonies in private homes.
