An excerpt from their vow renewal ceremony:
"The word “renew” has slightly different definitions that are all applicable to Loren and Crystal. One definition of renew is ‘to arrange for the extension of’. After five years, Crystal and Loren certainly desire to continue their marriage for five more, ten more, even fifty more years!
"Renew may be defined as ‘To regain the physical or mental vigor of; to restore, revive or replenish’. We seek to renew Crystal and Loren’s wedding vows because they have both worked very hard to overcome difficult challenges in their relationship, and as a result, they both have a better understanding of themselves and of each other.
"Renew can also mean ‘To take up again; to resume or reestablish’.
"Finally, another definition of renew is ‘To repeat so as to reaffirm’. "
i feel vow renewals are so important, simply because of a couple's history and experiences together, upon which the vows are renewed.
