Relive your big day your way with a tropical vow renewal

Here’s one thing that any married couple will tell you – marriage takes work. When life gets in the way, it’s you and your partner who continue to choose each other every single day and put in the effort to grow from that young couple who tied the knot (maybe with a destination wedding?) into the couple you are today. Now that’s something to celebrate… and why more and more beloveds are choosing to renew their vows – and we’re here for it! If you’re planning on your “I do” part two, here’s what you need to know and where to go to make it just as special as your wedding day!

Who are vow renewals for?

Are you wondering if it’s for you? Luckily, there aren’t a lot of rules when it comes to vow renewals (but we’ll get into that later) and the only prerequisite is that you have to be legally married – makes sense! There are plenty of reasons why couples choose to renew their vows, ranging from marking a big wedding anniversary (we’re thinking 10th, 25th or 50th!) to including your (maybe now grown up) kids in your ceremony, planning a bigger celebration than you could originally – the list goes on. Ultimately, a vow renewal comes down to you and your soulmate, everything else is a bonus!

So, you’re renewing your vows. Now what?

Even if you’re thinking of going all out on your vow renewal, what’s attractive about it is that it (usually) requires a lot less planning. It’s also light on the legalities you need to wade through since you’re already married, which means you don’t have to worry about securing an ordained officiant. Here’s where you can have a bit of fun – because of this, you can choose someone who’s important to you to help reaffirm your commitment to each other, like a close friend or one of your kids. Since planning will be a breeze and getting a marriage certificate isn’t a concern, you can put plenty of thought into finding the perfect destination (and venue) to host your event, and we’ve got a few ideas to inspire you…

The tropics aren’t just for destination weddings! If you’ve got your heart set on a 2024 recommitment ceremony, Antigua is a great choice for love-filled escapes and the all new, adults only Royalton CHIC Antigua will welcome you starting on June 1, 2024 with romance built in, All-In Luxury™ (love that) plus you can upgrade to Diamond Club™ to really up the ante. If lush landscapes are your preferred backdrop, then Saint Lucia is the spot for you, specifically Zoetry Marigot Bay St. Lucia, overlooking a crystal-clear cove and surrounded by tropical vegetation. St. Maarten is another island we simply adore, and Secrets St. Martin Resort & Spa on the French side of the island blends style with romance for a sophisticated adults only stay in paradise.
