RENEWAL OF VOWS & CONVERSION TO MARRIAGE Any couple, of any age, who have been through a legal marriage or civil partnership ceremony can arrange to renew their vows. Civil partners may also organise a conversion ceremony when they convert their civil partnership to a marriage. A ceremony can give that extra special edge to an anniversary or birthday. It is sometimes particularly relevant for a couple who have been through a period which put a strain on their relationship, but wish to celebrate their renewed commitment. Any couple who have married or held their civil partnership abroad may wish to celebrate with family and friends on their return by renewing their vows, or they may simply want to be romantic and take the opportunity to say “I do” again. The ceremony will be unique to the couple and as meaningful as their commitment to each other. Family members and friends may also wish to get involved by presenting a reading or poem or you may wish to choose them as your witnesses or ring bearer.
