Renew my Vows💍 ….. Should I or Should I Not ?

Posted on July 31, 2012 by Kimberly

This September marks 5 yrs. of marriage and 9 yrs together with my Husband. And of course just like any relationship we have gone through plenty of ups and downs , great times and bad times. So as the 5 year mark came we decided what better way to celebrate than confess our love to each other all over again by renewing our vows in a intimate ceremony. Our wedding day was truly one of the happiest days of our lives (so cliche to say) so why not relive that day and the feeling. My Hubby cried and got so choked up saying his vows , and we were both so nervous standing in front of almost 100 guests repeating whatever the Judge said that we don’t even remember what we said. So why not have a second chance to write our own vows this time and not be nervous because it’ll just be him and I gazing into each others eyes on the beach with no one else. Plus a little extra bling on my ring finger couldn’t hurt. Ahhhh and the dress ! What woman wouldn’t want to put on a ivory/white dress (again) and feel beautiful ?

So with all these thoughts in my head I started planning “Our Vow Renewal”. I found a beautiful White by Vera Wang dress , I designed my bouquet and a new wedding band. I hired a Officiant and a photographer, found a fancy hotel to stay at for the weekend and a romantic place for dinner. After doing all this I felt like I was planning a wedding all over again. Then all these questions kept playing in my head….. Does this make sense ? Is it worth it ? Is it stupid ? Are people going to think we’re crazy? Its only been 5 years, what’s the big deal? So many questions ! Now it’s 5wks away and I still am very confused, I go from excited to overwhelmed to feeling who gives a F what other people think because I love my husband and that’s all that matters. So as it stands right now Hubby and I very excited and can’t wait ❤😍 What are your thoughts on Vow Renewals , Yay or Nay ?

Here’s a picture of my dress and me in it

My Cliche Life ?

It’s kind of cliche to say “A Family that plays together , stays together ” but it’s honestly true. I was very fortunate to marry a fun loving family man who loves family time as much as I do. Its important for us as a family to do almost everything together whether it’s going to the grocery store, eating at the dinner table together or enjoying a day at the park. Sometimes people get so caught up in working or doing their own thing that they forget to have quality time with their children and spouse. Being a family of 5 sometimes doing things can get costly , but we find many budget friendly things to do. My Gumdrops love going to the park and getting ice cream. We had a fun day today doing just that.

An Evening of LOVE ❤

I’m a big fan of Frank Ocean (as you guys may already know from pervious posts) so when I heard he was doing a tour for his new album I was elated ! I purchased tickets as soon as they went on sale for Hubby and I over a month ago and the evening finally came last night. It was a great day but busy filled with my normal mommy duties of cleaning and cooking a full feast before we left. When we finally got dressed and left the house we hit traffic and got there to late to be the first ones there, the line was 3 blocks long ! OMG , but well worth the wait his show was AMAZING !!!! One of the best shows I’ve ever seen (also one of the shortest). Love was in the air with Hubby and I. Frank Ocean’s beautiful vocals served as a romantic backdrop for our date night. We felt like young teenagers in love ❤ Then to end the perfect night we ate at the infamous Geno’s Steaks in Philly. Here are some pics of the night and “My Style” pics …….
