J-Lo and Marc Anthony Renew Vows…Would You?
So did you read that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony renewed their marriage vows yesterday in Vegas? They have been married for a whole four years. Thy were in Las Vegas to celebrate his 40th birthday and decided to recommit to each other on the spur of the moment. They renewed their vows at 3 :15 a.m. in the Caesars Palace’s Forum Tower Penthouse.
I think it is cool that they renewed their vows, really. it just seems funny to me to have done it so soon. But I think marriage in Hollywood time and marriage in real world time is like the difference between dog age and human age..so figuring it like that they have been married 28 years…sort of.
I dropped every hint in the book to Marc Audet when our 15th anniversary was coming up, that I wanted to renew our vows. I could still fit in (the sacred) size 6 outfit back then (moment of silence please)…and I was sewing a lot. I had a fantasy of walking down the aisle looking fabulous in a designer wedding dress…and him being absolutely stunned at my beauty.
He. Did. Not. Get. It.
Remember, he doesn’t read between the lines. I think I even said, “Wouldn’t it be cool to renew our vows for our anniversary?”
Apparently I was too vague.
I don’t remember what we did, but I am pretty sure that it did not include aisles, designer dresses or him being rendered speechless by my delicious self.
I think it is a good idea to renew vows, especially after there has been a near divorce or separation…or some other significant event. It gives the couple a chance to begin new and fresh symbolically.
I don’t really feel a need to renew them now. My reasons for wanting to do it are gone (designer dresses, size 6, completely hot self) and they weren’t great reasons to begin with.
Would you renew your vows?

I think 4 years is a little early but maybe at a 25 wedding anniversary or something like that.

Hi Marye,
I hope your not saying that all those Hollywood types are like dogs. Oops and hee hee! I think it’s sad really. They think they have everything going for them and yet they’re some of the most mixed up people on the planet.
Have a great Monday!

Oh! I got excited and missed the point. Jimmy and I talked about renewing on our 10th, but then his brother got married that same year so we didn’t. Would I renew my vows? Yes! I love my husband more now than I did the day I married him and after 14 years I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly, BUT he is perfect for me!

I will renew my vows. I had a courthouse wedding the first time around and am looking forward to the white dress, the music, the cake, the everything about weddings. Although I think 4 years is too soon, I am doing as soon as I lose some weight and we get some more money.

I haven’t made my vows for the first time yet, but I like the idea of renewing them if something significant happens.
Heather
Oct 13, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Yes. For a variety of reasons. One, we have a renewed marriage in the last year or so. We nearly didn’t make it after our son died. But I think thanks to the Lord Jesus, we will now. Two, next year will be 25 years!!! :)

Oct 13, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Certainly not at 3:15 AM! At my age I would be dreaming away. I think its cool to renew wedding vows (I wouldn’t do it since I have been divorced for 6 yrs)!

I think it’s really sweet and romantic. I would love to renew my vows with my husband. I think this is so romantic.

We have always kidded that we would like to renew our vows in Vegas with Elvis doing the officiating. I think that would be such fun.
Theresa Harnar
Oct 13, 2008 at 7:34 pm
I always thought of renewing your vows something you do at a major anniversary, but I like the idea of doing it after a separation or near divorce. I think it would give you a chance to “start over”.

We are approaching our 10 year anniversary, so that might be a good time to renew. It does seem like a nice way to reaffirm with each other.
Stacey Brown

In a heartbeat we had no one at our wedding becasue it was bittersweet, my sister had just died 2 months before, so I would love to this for all my family and friends!
karissa
Oct 13, 2008 at 8:09 pm
I agree with the first poster, at 4 years? seems kinda like maybe they felt they had already rushed into it huh?
Stephen Hand

If I was married, I would love to renew our vows every ten or twenty years just to help renew our love.

My husband and I renew ours daily by the way we act toward each other and the things we say.

I’ve been married for 15 years. While I wouln’t absolutely rule it out in the future and understand why some might do it, I don’t feel any need or pull toward it. The JLo one seemed a little awkward to me because it was so soon. Thanks for the chance to win!
Tiffany
Oct 13, 2008 at 8:45 pm
Hmm, I guess if we had weathered a particularly trying storm on our marriage I might see the appeal of renewing our vows. Otherwise I think it’s a silly idea. Vows are vows…they shouldn’t have to be “renewed” because they shouldn’t expire :-)
Here’s to me winning at least one super sneaky secret prize? Maybe? :-)

Almost 10 years, but haven’t really thought about renewing before. Thanks for hosting the suprise giveaway. Would love to win!

DH and I have talked about renewing our vows on our 15th anniversary. We are at 11 now. I think it would be fun and romantic. I think 4 years is a little premature but who knows what they have been through.
Susan Smith

In Hollywood being married 4 years is an eternity. I like the idea of renewing our vows.

I wouldn’t after just 4 years. My husband and I just celebrated our 3-year Wedding Anniversary last month and it seems like we just got married yesterday. :)

Oct 13, 2008 at 9:56 pm
Yes, if we make it to 50 years! It has been 37 so far…so only 13 more to go!

We have only been married for three years as of Oct.22nd. But I am sure that we will renew our vows in the future.
Surprises are always great !
Thank you so much for offering this wonderful giveaway.
I would LOVE to win !!

I wouldn’t renew my vows because I think it would take away from the special feeling of our wedding day, but I can see how other people would enjoy it.
Kristen
Oct 13, 2008 at 11:05 pm
I think it would be fun (and sweet) to renew vows when our children (and maybe grandchildren if possible) are grown so that they can attend and be a part of it.
Terra Heck

Sure, I’d renew my vows. I just recently celebrated my 6 year wedding anniversary. I may renew my vows on my tenth.

Being a perfect size 6 is so a reason for wanting to stun him with your beauty. And what better way to do that than to renew and remind him just how awesome your self is!! How often do you get that chance? Ido think 4 years is a bit soon, but whatever rocks your world!
Thanks for blogtoberfest ~ this is a blast!

I love the idea of renewing your vows. It means different things to different people, so the timing is irrelevant.
Susan Burch
Oct 14, 2008 at 4:05 am
I think it’s nice. It’s more of a “re-enforcement” than a renewal.

Marie Noguerole
Oct 14, 2008 at 6:03 am
I wouldn’t renew my vows…but then I’m divorced. In fact we married, divorced, remarried after less than a year and divorced again. Sum total amounted to 23 years with someone I loved but didn’t like, who knew absolutely nothing about who I am as a person. I did take home two beautiful sons as consolation prizes from the MARRIAGE GAME. For them I would do it all again…if only with a few changes. I wouldn’t put my career on hold for him. I would have separate bank accounts. And I wouldn’t ever tolerate infidelity ever again no matter how many times he professed that I was the “best thing that ever happened to him”.
However, congrats to those who love and keep on loving. I say RENEW…RENEW…RENEW!

No, I don’t find a need to renew vows. Walking down the isle is only special the first time around in my opinion.

I’ve only been married a year an a half so renewing my vows isn’t something I’ve really thought about, but sometime in the future yes I probably would. My wedding was very casual the first time around, but very nice just the same. It was also a chance to have family that I don’t get to see very often to share in a special moment with me.
Susan C
Oct 14, 2008 at 7:49 am
Shoot-I have been with my boyfriend for thirteen years! I’d have to talk him into getting married first!
Danai
Oct 14, 2008 at 7:54 am
OK, I have to admit, I am totally not the romantic type and don’t understand renewing your vows. I appreciate you listing a few reasons as to why some might do that but it just seems to me that it’s part of being married to begin with.
Shari D
Oct 14, 2008 at 7:57 am
I got married 26 years ago, but we didn’t have much of a wedding and I’ve always wanted to do it over big. Same man different party!

I do think it is ok to renew your vows. I think whatever makes you happy and means the most to you, you should do. Thanks for the great giveaway.

Seems to me just another publicity stunt. Most Hwood types like the 2 million dollar weddings so all the poor fooks can read about them and weep.

I think 4 years is a little early, I think it takes longer than that to reallyyy know who you are married to. We are going on 8 years in November
and I’am still learning

Well, My parents never have renewed their vows, but they had awesome parties for their 25th, 35th, and 50th anniversaries.
The 50th was the best, they planned it, had my siblings and I roast them, several friends from their childhood’s came their best man and maid of honor came. wow! it was fun.
MARILOUISE
Oct 14, 2008 at 9:48 am
I see nothing wrong with renewing vows that soon. I dont think that it would be a bad idea to renew on a yearly basis so both parties recall what marriage is all about.
Theresa Shafer
Oct 14, 2008 at 9:50 am
If I had the money, sure. But since I hated to waste the money on the wedding the first time.
How about a renewal honeymoon??? It would be funner and would really get the marriage back on track. (giggle)

I agree that 4 years is a bit soon, but my parents are planning on doing some sort of little something for their 25th next year & I just think it’s too sweet. I hope I’m still as nauseatingly in love with my husband after that much time!

Have renewed our vows, but didn’t and don’t really need to because every caring act between us every day does it anyway.

I suppose out in la-la land you need to renew your vows after 4 years because marriages don’t last that long!? But we have no plans to do so. Thanks for the contest!

I guess in Hollywood being married for 4 years is the equivalent of 25 years to the normal folks. Just kidding, good for them for still being in love, not enough of that these days.
Jennifer M
Oct 14, 2008 at 11:14 am
No, I’m happy with remembering the first time around! We’re already committed, we remember that every day, we don’t need a non-binding ceremony to express it.

I’m not sure if I would renew my vows but I would love to make up for my crappy honeymoon. The whole hotel had old people in it like 70 up. The place was run down and looked nothing like the brochure.
Rose

I think that if it’s a bonding process for them, and makes them feel closer, then that’s great!
