My anniversary lands on a Wednesday but I would like to renew my wedding vows on a Friday or Saturday of this year. If I do change it, which date should I celebrate from then on out? Is there anything that states that I shoudn't change my date? Ex: it's bad luck, against the church, etc...

Continue to celebrate your original wedding anniversary, but go ahead and hold the vow renewal ceremony on whatever date works best for you.

It is proper ettiquette to put it in only once a wedding date has been set.  After that, anytime up until the wedding is fine.

Get a coordinator local to the area you are getting married in to help.  Typicall the Day Of Packages include final vendors confirmations, which it sounds like you need for some piece of mind, as well as coordination of your rehearsal and running the day of your wedding to ensure things are running in a timely manner and nothing is overlooked.  \n\nMy company covers all of Southern California and that is what is included in our package and if it isnt offered you should be able to customize a package with a coordinator that includes what you do need help with.  Good luck!

Don't see those as signs of doom, I think they're signs that God is testing you early on to see if you both have what it takes to make it. Things can always get better, don't ever think things could get worse, or they will!!\n\nIt sounds like the wedding started the whole issue here. I suggest planning a vow renewal on next anniversary, put your wedding dress back on, do it all over again, but this time, BE THOROUGH!!! I didn't have enough food at my wedding either, hubby and I didn't get ANYTHING to eat except wedding cake, which had to be repaired before the wedding since it slid in the back of delivery van and crushed one whole side of it. Plus, 3 of the 4 air conditioners went out in the hall, in July, and I was wearing a long sleeved silk wedding dress that weighed 48 lbs. Plus, I was 5 months pregnant!We didn't let that ruin our day, we even stayed and cleaned up! \n\nYour marriage is what you and your hubby make of it. So what if it started badly? Thats not a sign of doom!! If you love each other, then thats all you need.....If you want to, take my suggestion of a vow renewal, wear your dress, and have a small quiet dinner for close family and friends this time. Do a BBQ or something..........I bet things look up after that for sure...GL;)

The History Behind Traditional Anniversay Gifts\n \nBy Charlie Welf \nNobody can say with any amount of certainty when the tradition of giving anniversary gifts started. Most probably it evolved over time. Traditionally, each wedding anniversary is celebrated by giving a gift made from a different material. The first anniversary is symbolized with paper, and subsequently anniversary gifts become more precious or scarce to reflect the growing number of years a couple has remained together.\n\nSome say calling the twenty-fifth anniversary Silver Anniversary and the fiftieth anniversary Gold anniversary may have originated in medieval Europe, where wives were given a silver wreath to celebrate their twenty-fifth year of marriage and a gold wreath for their fiftieth anniversary. Diamonds are traditional in both the sixtieth and seventy-fifth years. \n\nThe traditional anniversary gifts list may seem somewhat boring, but it doesn't have to be. There are many ways you can turn each year's theme into a special gift. The traditional paper and cotton gifts for the first years can include a lovely origami booklet, paper tickets to a movie or a scrapbook with a plush cotton cover, filled with memories.\n\nA bit of creativity can twist tradition to give an enchanting new flavor. For instance, you can celebrate the yearly tradition even if you want to break away from it to give another type of gift. Or use the yearly theme to wrap your gift or trim it with any item made from that year's material.\n\nYou can go a step further and make the theme material of your traditional anniversary gift a carrier for your gift, like tucking a ring in a leather wallet, or tying a cluster of roses together with a bracelet. You can even try hiding a necklace inside the pocket of a silk robe or fold a cozy woolen shawl around another gift.

Whoa ! Sorry I missed the previous question. But as far as any guy missing such an important date as an anniversary to have an affair with someone else sounds like a first class loser to me. I think you should dump this guy faster than a hot potato.

First of all, keep in mind that this is YOUR wedding.  But also be able to compromise too.  Another thing on your wedding day don't stress out, enjoy yourself.  Someone told me while i was planning my own wedding that i shouldn't worry about something going wrong because in the end, not one person would notice except me, cause i planned the wedding.  And you know what i took her advice and my wedding day was perfect, except for a little rain. I enjoyed every minute of that day. So my advice is sure it only happens once in your life but don't make yourself miserable just to please everyone else. IT'S YOUR WEDDING, SO ENJOY IT. CONGRATS!!!!!

I'm sorry to hear about your sister's accident, but am glad she's doing better!\n\nThere are two sides to this- One, I feel terrible that because of your sister's dreadful accident, you did not get to have the wedding you had planned. It seems like you should definitely be able to have a "do-over", and hold a full-fledged wedding if that's what you want to do!\n\nHowever, here's the etiquette for this situation: You could have postponed, but you chose to get married in a simple ceremony at the chapel. So, you've already had your wedding. Staging a fake one is not really appropriate. It would, however, be fine to hold a reception celebrating the marriage:\n\nMr. Brian Smith and Mrs. Mary Jones were married\nFriday, March 17th 2006\nSt. Joseph's Hospital Chapel\nNew York, NY \n\nPlease join us in celebrating\nat a reception in their honor\nSaturday, June 18th 2006\n3 o'clock in the afternoon\nNew York Radisson Ballroom\nNew York, NY\n\nMr. and Mrs. Bridesparents\n\nIf you wish to go ahead and stage a redo, I would definitely recommend having the renewal of vows:\n\nMr. and Mrs. James Smith\nrequest the honor of your presence\nas they renew their wedding vows\nSaturday, May 23rd 2006\n3 o'clock in the afternoon\nSt. Patrick's Cathedral\nNew York, NY\n\nReception following ceremony\n\nGood luck whichever you choose!

At noon, one of my closest friends is getting married!  She is a sun-lover, so it'll be an appropriate day for her.\n\nAny other ritual/celebration depends on my significant other... if she's up for a ritual, we'll have one (indoors, unfortunately... no "comfortable" area outdoors for us to do anything "formal")... otherwise, I will just do a little meditation in my room before bed and most likely read aloud the Summer Solstice passages from DJConway's Celtic Magic.\n\nBright Blessings!

A great day to remember with our spouse/girlfriend/fiancee ... it doesn't necessarily have to have gifts or a great dinner or sex... though those do help!  The main thing is to have some great quality time with us!

My husband was in a firefighter academy when we married. I had just finished my degree and was looking for work teaching preschool. We were planning to wait until he graduated and found work and that way we would have saved up some money. Our schedules were so crazy though, that we really missed time together. Ultimately, we decided that having a big fancy wedding and a nice expensive honeymoon was not what it was all about. We just wanted to be married. We had a beautiful small wedding with just close friends and family. Today is our 9 year anniversary and we are so happy. (Except that I am waiting for him to get out of traffic and get home!) Sometimes you have to weigh what is most important to you. We did not live together before we married either, and the best moment of every day was coming home to be together. Good luck to you!

Is it similar to a wedding ceremony? If so then just go by that. If it is different you could still use one of them. I think that is really nice.

*sigh*\n\nOk call me a fuddy duddy. But I guess I just don't feel that love should be celebrated on this one day because we are supposed to. Love should be shown every day. I sooooooooo prefer someone doing something for me spontaneously on some odd day just cause they so want to, instead of because they feel obligated to. Soooo, I plan on ignoring the day........and surprising someone I truly care about when he least expects it. It's just so much more meaningful that way! *sorry for being a little poopy head when it comes to Valentine's day**
