1. How about having it on your one year anniversary or close to the date?
2. Um, honestly I think that's kinda silly. If anything goes wrong at this BIG wedding are you going to try to do another BIGGER wedding? I would rather go on a great relaxing vacation somewhere and make more memories than to try to replace the old ones. Or, go to Vegas and just renew your vows, can't mess that up!
3. I would do it on the same date so if you want one or two year anniversary that would be better than having like two seperate dates for your wedding
4. In my opinion, I think it's a little too soon to do it the next year. I would say maybe make it a vow renewal for your 3 year or 5 year anniverary or something? That's really sweet that your hubby wants to make it up to you because your wedding was so disappointing. Adorable! Tip: don't invite the people who got in a fight at the last one. :)
5. I don;t think that it's too soon if that is what you both want. Make sure you are 100% committed to it, cause the big wedding thing is really stressful planning wise (trust me, I know!). I agree with the previous comment: if you tried to do it on your anniversary, that would be very nice, and appropriate. Just make sure you can do it in just a few short months! Best wishes!
6. Save it for a milestone anniversary-1st, 5th, 10th. Your wedding date is your wedding date. If your planning a church wedding, then it is NOT a wedding-it's a renewal ceremony. You are honoring the fact that you are already married. You can still do the whole wedding gown thing and all if that is your preference. But when you say HUGE wedding, do you mean the whole limo thing, bridal attendants, expensive reception? That might be a bit too much considering the fact you are married. But if money is no object then go for it!!
7. It is too soon. Seriously, a bad wedding gives you a story to tell and it's truly the marriage that counts. Sweet that he wants to do it again but why not avoid the stress and just go somewhere nice to spend time as a couple.
8. I think it's a great idea to have it on your one year anniversary...which I am assuming will be on a Sunday since typically weddings take place on Saturdays. One of the great parts about doing a wedding on Sunday's is that many places over special packages. I think it would be cute...just try to make sure that this time you plan it better so things don't go wrong...honestly, with all weddings there is going to be something that goes wrong, but normally the guests don't even notice. But if this is what you want then you should definitely go for it...just be prepared to handle all of the stress that comes with a big wedding :) Good luck.
9. my husband and i have been planning our renewal for going on five years now...we initially wanted to do it on our one year anniversary, but life got in the way...in my opinion, you do it when you want to...if you feel it is too soon, wait until your comfortable doing so...whether it be on your one year anniversary, or second, or eleventh...it is strictly up to you and your hubby...
10. I think you EARNED another wedding!!!!!! What did you do to get the cake thrown at you? Just curious :)
11. A year difference is perfect. What better way to fix the disaster than to have one on the same day. Do try to do some things different though like not invite your BFF's bro. Didn't work the first time. Also check weather reports two weeks in advance and have a back up plan if weather turns for worse. Hope your second time around is blessed!
12. You are married, so just keep it at that. Whatever happened, happened, but you got to say your vows. Have a party at your first anniversary if you want, but not 'another' wedding!
