Reaffirm Your love

Anniversaries, Renewal of Vows, & Commit to each other,


Married or unmarried, couples who share a love,
tell each other a thousand things without talking but sometimes words need to be said, actions need to be taken.


Whether you have been married for a length of time that should be celebrated, or you simply wish to affirm your love, a Ceremony can strengthen your relationship, giving a voice to what has been unsaid, but needs to be said.

Marriage is like wine – It gets better with age. – Dudley Moore

Reason people choose to have a Ceremony for an Anniversary Celebration, or make a Commitment to one another:

  1. A landmark anniversary
    • The celebration of a silver, pearl, or gold anniversary is a wonderful time to honour your marriage by reaffirming your commitment.
  2. Didn’t have the wedding that was dreamed of
    • Circumstances at the time might have prevented you from having that dream wedding, but those circumstances are now well and truly in the past.
  3. Emotional Turmoil
    • Some couples have endured extraordinary challenges but still manage to persevere, and so perhaps through gratitude or a reinvigorated love, choose to recommit to their relationship and to each other with the emphasis greatly on vow renewal.
  4. Devotion
    • giving a voice and definition to what has been unsaid or is lived
  5. Just because
    • to Acknowledge and show to the world just how wonderful the relationship is and always will be

“Successful marriage requires falling in love many times,
always with the same person”.
– Germaine Greer


As a Commitment, Reaffirmation, or Anniversary Ceremony is not complicated by legal requirements so the options are almost unlimited.

Common options are:

      1. Create an entirely new and unique Ceremony
      2. Create a Ceremony that should have been
      3. Re-enact the ‘original’ 
      4. revise the original Marriage ceremony but update it to reflect the life & love experience 

Much like a Wedding, we meet and plan. We discover your dream ceremony and determine how to make it happen.

You could include family members,  cultural or religious rituals, or pretty much anything you like as there are no legal requirements other than that we can’t perform a ‘legal marriage ceremony’, but we can make it fun, romantic, and beautiful.

It is your ceremony, let’s make it uniquely yours.
