second wedding for anniversary

My husband and I will be married for 20 years jan 2005. we wante to have a wedding, because the first wedding we had was a shotgun, because i was pregnant, and his mother planned EVERYTHING, right down to the hand me down dress. I had no say so, and we have always regretted it. Plus it was very negative, so my hubby wanted to have a wedding on our anniversary, with just our children and close friends and family, very small. He wants to do it in Bahamas. I was wondering if others have done the same thing, had a second wedding after they were already married, or does this seem silly. I really want to be able to plan one for myself the way we want it.

Vow Renewal [In reply to]

If you are really concerned about how your family and friends perceive your intention then simply call it a vow renewal...a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet...or something like that.
You can still go to the Bahamas, still have a ceremony, reception, and guests, you're just calling it all by a different name. :wink:
