    Im marrying on 2nd march next year. Mum and dads 30th anniversary is two days later and mum keeps bringing up that we have ruined any chance of them celebrating it properly. She does it in a jokey manner but I know she's serious! I had an idea of them renewing their vows the day of my wedding as they didn't have a proper wedding themselves becos of a lack of money. Is this something that could be done easily? How much do you reckon it would be to do this?

    Oh and also part of me feels a little selfish and wondering if it would be a good Idea as it might take focus of our big day for us?

    i wouldnt personally do that, however why not make the reception a joint party??? that way you get the wedding and breakfast, and why dont you make a toast to your parents marking the fact that they are celebrationg 30 years, and that you hope everyone will enjoy the evening which becomes a joint celebration. just an idea.

    I wouldn't make it a joint ceremony because that will take the limelight off you both. But definitely make a toast to them, work alon the line you hope you last 30+ years in your marriage. And maybe a joint reception?

    What a wonderful way for your parents to celebrate their wedding anniversary by watching their daughter walk down the aisle. That should really be celebration enough for them as you are a product of their marriage. Next time your mother brings it up I would joke back saying you'll cancel the wedding if it really bothers you that much. She obviously doesn't realise the position this has put you in.

    I don't think a vow renewal would be such a good idea, I did think of it for my parents as they have just celebrated 40 years together and my dad is recovering from having a tumour removed so I thought it would be a nice way for them to celebrate yet another obstacle beaten. When I told my mum she told me not to be silly as its our day and she doesn't want to take any attention from me and h2b and when I thought about it she's right.

    When h2b and I were booking our wedding we wanted it in May but throughout May we have family birthdays and they are all big ones a 21st, 30th and 70th, so we settled for June 29th as that didn't clash with anything major. Then h2b told me it was the 2 year anniversary of a work colleagues death. It's so exhausting trying not to clash with anything that I've told him the date sticks and as we are having Help 4 Heroes pin badges in our favours we can use that as an opportunity to toast all absent friends and make a special mention of him as he died on that day. Seriously hun, you will never win no matter what day you have it but hopefully if you joke about cancelling your mum will see how it's affecting you.

    I can't wait until 29/06/2013
    The day I marry the man of my dreams!

    I would only do it if you are totally certain hun. Don't let your mum guilt you into it. Its her daughters big day and to be honest, she shouldn't even want to have her marriage renewals on the same day. She should want to give you your big day!

    It will be my IN-Laws 25th anniversary a few days before our wedding next July.

    We are going to present a gift to them at reception and give them a toast during speeches, something like congrats to them 25yrs of marriage, may we have 25 years of marriage together too. Something like that anyways. They are not big party people so may have a good together with family after the wedding but as far as I am aware they aren't making any plans.

    i agree with princess. youve also got to take into account will they want to renew there vows on your wedding day?
    its my mum n dads 30th anniversary in 13 days. i wanted to organise for them to renew theirs on there anniversary in the same church they got married but when i suggested they renew there vows my mum and dad basically told me to "p*** off and once was enough" lol. instead gonna see what weathers gonna be like that weekend and just have a family bbq to celebrate.
