How long should the wedding vow renewal ceremony last?

Hello,

We are planning to renew our vows after 10 years. I read the post but have failed to find if proper etiquette for hosting the event at two locations? I know that I do not want to duplicate our wedding. We wanted to have a ceremony and a celebration at a different location. The reason behind this is due to the fact that the ceremony is at our church and our church does not allow any alcohol at any events. Even though we were only having wine. Also how long should the ceremony last? Help!

Denisha -

There are no rules surrounding the length of the renewal ceremony. The length will depend on what you include in the service. Some renewal ceremonies last just a few minutes and others last longer depending on the length and complication of the vows the couple exchanges. Review our page on vow renewals to see samples of vows you can recite to one another or write your own ceremony.

I hope this helps.
