VOW RENEWAL CEREMONY
INTRODUCTION
________ and_________, welcome to the re-affirmation ceremony of your marriage.
On this beautiful occasion, I commend you both. In this day and age, it has becoming increasingly rare to see couples sustain a commitment to each other. By contrast, you are taking this moment at this place to express to the world your continued and growing love for each other.
CEREMONY
So, we have gathered here (in the presence of family and friends) to re-affirm your marriage vows and the love you have for each other.
You entered into this union advisedly and reverently. The years have drawn you closer, not only as husband and wife, but also as the very best of friends.
VOWS
(Turn to face each other and join both hands)
(Husband)
I _______________ re-affirm that you ________________ are my wife and my best friend. I promise to continue my love for you, to cherish you, to honor you, and to keep you. In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, whatever the future may bring, I shall continue to be true to you all the days of my life.
(Wife)

At this time, is there anything you would like to say to personally express your love for one another?

Today we re-affirm the bond of love by again giving and receiving these rings.

With this ring, I re-affirm my love and marriage to you, and shall continue to share with you all my life has to offer today, tomorrow and forever.

Mr. and Mrs. __________________________.
…And they continued to live happily ever after!
we will be lugging along a bunch of luggage and our two kiddos, whom I am certain will be arguing and irritating the heck out of me at that moment! 
Yea! I hope I can have him leave out the "do you have anything to add" part- because we won't!! LOL!! Even if I did want to write my own vows- I am sure I would either forget what to say, or would lose the paper it's on...I think I'll just smile, and cry instead!
