Couples sometimes choose to renew their vows to celebrate an important anniversary. Other times if a marriage has come through a difficult period a couple may feel moved to reconfirm their love afresh and ongoing. A vow renewal may be an opportunity to celebrate a couple's marriage with children and grandchildren who may not have been born to share in their wedding day.

There are many rituals a couple may choose to incorporate into their vow renewal. These may include reciting their original wedding vows, lighting candles to signify the number of years they have been together or a ring warming ceremony and exchange of their old or new rings.
