Vow Renewal

Generally speaking, persons who are already legally married to each other cannot go through a further form or ceremony of marriage to each other, and it is an offence for an authorised Civil Marriage Celebrant to purport to solemnise such a ceremony

The Celebrant is legally prevented from 'Remarrying' a couple.

The law as it stands, prevents same sex couples marrying. The re-affirmation or Renewal service is chosen by many to show the love and commitment between same sex couples, who wish the same commitment and security as a heterosexual married couple.

A re-affirmation Ceremony is also used when the couple cannot provide proof of Divorce in time,- prior to the wedding ceremony taking place.   And is used to replace the Wedding Ceremony.

The re-affirmation ceremony allows you to re-affirm your original marriage vows, promises and commitment to each other and can be celebrated for various reasons:

Simply because you want to re-affirm your love and commitment for each other.

To celebrate a special wedding anniversary.

Perhaps you were married overseas, or interstate, and you want your immediate family and friends to be a part of your special occasion.

Re-affirmation ceremonies can be composed by the Marriage Celebrant or the couple themselves, there is no legal obligations for re-affirmation other than the Celebrant warning the  couple and the people assembled that what follows is not a Marriage Ceremony but a reaffirmation or Renewal of vows ceremony.

At the conclusion of the ceremony the couple will be presented with a  Certificate and a copy of the ceremony.
