Well for the gentlemen out there why not make the day special and give the gift of renewal.

With divorces going up year on year (according to the Office of Statistics) a couple managing to stay together through thick and thin deserves a celebration, so consider these tips to take the plunge;

1. There are far less dos and don’ts about vow renewal, it can be as simple as just the couple or a large affair with hundreds of guests.

2. To be honest you don’t have to wait for a major milestone to renew your vows you can be any age and be married for any length of time to carry out this special event.

3. As the ceremony has no legal effect all you’ll need is a copy of the original marriage certificate when booking the ceremonial venue.

4. As vow renewal is not a legally binding ceremony you can have whoever you want to officiate – a clergyman, a close friend,  a relative or even your children.

5. The basic premise is to exchange vows, so if you didn’t write your own personal vows the first time round you can really take centre stage here.

6. After you exchange vows you exchange rings – so you can either engrave your original ones or purchase new ones (and I’m sure your partner will love the latter).

According to folk lore its said that Lady luck bestows special favour on any venture, business or personal if its initiated on this day. So what are you waiting for?  Here are some more tips to add to those earlier this month for you consider.

1. Choose a place that he will love rather than what you’d like. Consider attending a football game to get him in the mood.

2. However don’t bring it up if his football team has just lost, timing is everything. Wait until later in the day when you have a glass of bubbly in your hand and he’s enjoyed the experience you’ve had together.

3. If your not sure about getting down on bended knee why not give him a card with the question inside to see his reaction?

4. Think of an alternative gesture to a ring  if he’s not into jewellery.

5. The traditional penalty if a man refuses your proposal on the 29th is that he has to pay. So remind him of that very expensive pair of shoes you are after if his reaction is a little slow.

Good Luck

You will soon start to look at how you will create the wedding of your dreams (if you haven’t started already) and as a destination wedding planner its only right for me to throw having a destination wedding into the mix, as it really is one to consider.

1. First up the world is your oyster; the possibilities to marrying abroad are endless. But so you don’t get overwhelmed just think of one country that you both loved whilst you were on holiday together.

2. If this thought excites you, then follow this through with some initial research to finding a good destination wedding planner. If you haven’t considered one before its well worth thinking about here as they will know the destination your thinking of well and save you a lot of time and hassle.

3. If you are after something different for your wedding the choice of stunning backdrops for a destination wedding will definitely make you stand out from your friends. Choose between an abundance of beaches, hill tops, yachts, forests, the choices really is endless.

4. If you are worried about the amount of people you will have to invite. A destination wedding really cuts your guest list down to only those who really want to come and those you actually want to be there.

5. Just give them enough time to book their flight and accommodation which is normally a year in advance or as soon as you picked your venue.

6. Finally if you are often disappointed when you hardly see the bride and groom at weddings. You won’t have to worry here, as a destination wedding is a great opportunity for you to enjoy your friends and family, as they’ll probably book at least three days to seven days holiday. So just think about all the things you could plan for your guests before and after the wedding to make their holiday and your wedding  memorable.
