I’m seriously contemplating the idea of renewing our vows for some upcoming anniversary - five years maybe? I’d love to do it over, without the same stress, without all of the fanfare, just with us and a spectacular photographer.

We won’t be redoing our wedding photos this summer after all, because, well, I no longer fit into my wedding dress! If you remember, I lost a lot of weight the summer before our wedding because of stress and a very tight budget, and dropped down to a very unhealthy size for my height. After suffering two miscarriages this year, I’ve been doing my best to gain back the twenty+ pounds and settling into a healthier, more fertile BMI. But, as a result of those efforts, my wedding dress no longer zips up past my now-ample bosoms. Whoops.

Surprisingly, I’m not so terribly sad, despite my disappointment over our wedding photos.

I have been able to post-process many of them into something reasonable, and that is more than some other brides in similar situations are able to do. I am grateful for that ability - and the thought of renewing our vows definitely puts a sparkle back in my eye, so to speak!

Is anyone else planning to renew their vows at a later date?
