Vow Renewal Onboard?

[chmb1]

Has anyone done this ?
How was it ?
Any tips or suggestions ?
And finally...

...is there any way to keep it a surprise? We'll have 4 children, three relatives and ourselves for a total party of 9.


Thanks.

Hi there,

We are renewing our vows in December 2003 to celebrate our 30th anniversary. There will be a total of 11 family members and we will be cruising on the 4 day Wonder. I can't wait.

My daughter and son's girlfriend are my atendants/bridesmaids and I am having an ivory dress made.

We are from the UK and this will be a special holiday for us, we are starting off In Vegas for 5 nights then onto WDW in Caribbean Beach then off on the Wonder.

In the UK Vow renewals are not very common and there is such an interest shown when I visit the bridal shops etc and two magazines are going to make a feature of it in their editions

It is difficult to get details here in the UK so I am reliant on Disney Direct and have made a booking through Disney Fairy Tale Weddings and Cathy Ingles is my co-ordinator.

My neice and her husband have given us all Disney Character names, I am Tinker Bell and my Husband is Peter Pan, my dad is Dopey, mum Snow White and so it goes on. I am making my own invitations and the place cards for the meal, I am putting the disney character names on the place cards for dinner- should cause a laugh or two. I have also bought some Mickey Mouse ears (after a long and hard search here in the UK) and I am decorating them all with something from the character for each guest, and then they will be at the dinner table for all to wear - they don't know it yet tho! Our son will just love his Pongo ears!!

We hope to have a few dances after the ceremony, and my husband and I have chosen 'How Sweet it is to be loved by you' by Marvin Gaye as our first dance!

On the invitations I have written in smallish writing 'a dream is a wish your heart make.......' then on the order of service (or programme of the ceremony) I will write ' when you wish upon a star' ........... The girls will walk into When you Wish Upon a Star and then I have chosen 'Evergreen' by Barbara Striesand (words are so lovely for 30 years of marriage) to make my grand entrance
I have also got a Tinker Bell stamp (again after a long hard find) that appears throughout the invitations etc and I hope, not confirmed this yet, the Captain will say at the end of the Renewal 'It just goes to show, if you wish upon a star, your dreams really do come true' as the final words.

I am trying to put a 'wish upon a star' theme though it all, if you see what I mean.

I have posted several messages on different boards to try and contact anyone who has actually done a vow renewal on board, but so far, no success.

I hope this is of some use to you, please ask any questions you wish.

Rosemary

Oh Rosemary, your ceremony/celebration sounds like it is going to be just wonderful.

We were planning on renewing our vows for our 25th at the WDW wedding pavillion, but after taking our first cruise last month, I think we are leaning towards renewing on the ship.

Congratulations to you...30 years is really something!

Can't wait to hear your report afterwards.

Enjoy!

Hi! I'm also in the UK and celebrating my 30th anniversary in June next year and thinking of a vow renewal on the Magic to celebrate!

So I loved to hear the details of your ceremony and will be very much looking forward to your trip report! Please keep us informed!
