How to word a vow renewal program

I am trying to format my renewal program but do not know how to word it. The ages of my children are 11, 6, & 4. They want to do a reading, like a poem or a passage. My cousin will do a reading (not sure what type yet), and my children are going to present us with items to symbolize our ten years of marriage. So, any ideas on how to word my program? I do not want anything too long - just something simple.

Dear Wording a Wedding Program,

I'm a bit confused. You are married and have been for 10 years and you are planning a wedding for yourself? Do you mean a vow renewal? We don't typically have vow renewal programs. I suppose you could though. It is just very important not to confuse the vow renewal with a wedding. It shouldn't appear to be one, as it appears improper. Please read more about vow renewal etiquette to avoid any social faux pas and embarrassment.

If you plan on using a program, you could simple state that your children, oldest to youngest will recite... The same would be appropriate for your cousin. Then you could mention something about the presentation.

Best wishes,
