There is no such thing as a vow renewal wedding. These are two totally different events.
If you're married, you had a wedding.
A wedding is a ceremony (no matter where it takes place, what you wore or if there were guests, cake, etc. - as long as there is a marriage license) to marry two people. You're already married so that ceremony isn't for you.
A vow renewal is a ceremony for couples who want to recommit to each other, usually done on benchmark anniversaries or to reconnect after a particularly difficult time. I can't tell if that ceremony is for you since you didn't offer additional information such as when you were married. But, this is not a wedding and does not include many of the traditional wedding elements like bridal attendants.
If you want your church to bless your wedding you may have a ceremony called the blessing of the marriage. Again, not a wedding.
You may want it all, but you've made decisions that won't allow for you to have it all. You've already decided to get married, for whatever reason. We all have to take responsibility for our decisions.
I'm not suggesting this is you, but I think one of the reasons the US is in economic despair is from people who "want it all", were told by irresponsible realtors or banks that they could indeed "have it all" and then came foreclosure when they realized the truth. What happens next? These same irresponsible people get bailed out, once again reinforcing the idea that they need not take responsibility for their decisions.
Trust me, there are many people like me who are tired of being invited to these pretend weddings, mostly hosted to get "stuff", whether gifts or attention.
Parents stop the wimpy, guilt ridden parenting and start saying no to your kids. Believe it or not, they will experience the word no in their lives. Better they should learn to earn (dollars, respect, etc) then get told no by their employer, police, spouse, and be shocked, not knowing how to deal with that word.
Give me a break already with the entitlement. Geeze.
