VOW RENEWALS

Still in love after all these years? Ready to recommit yourselves to each other? I feel Vow Renewal Ceremonies are "extra special". To me, there is nothing more romantic than to celebrate the love, life and history of two people who are ready to say "I Do" all over again! My vow renewal ceremonies ignite emotions and create new memories.

I tell your story.

Thinking of having your children involved in the ceremony? Absolutely! They are part of your lives, aren't they? It's important to me that the children feel special. I will work with you to orchestrate a perfect flow of words and appropriate participation from those involved.

Once upon a time, you created a memory that brought you to where you are now. Allow me to create a new memory to take with you as you continue on your journey together.

Humble Boasting

A Double Vow Renewal

I am beyond excited to be featured in the February 2018 issue of Emerald Coast Magazine. I am truly honored and humbled that I was chosen to be interviewed for their Beach Vow Renewal Ceremonies article. The article touches on my Officiant service and the wonderful experiences I have had in being a part of so many couple's lives. I am so proud to live here in the beautiful Destin FL area, where people come from all over the world to say "I Do" and then "I Do Again" years later!

A Double Vow Renewal

When Frank called to ask me about Officiating a double vow renewal for him and his friend, I just knew it was going to be very special. Frank, Cherie, Dave and Dawn celebrated 40 years of marriage together. We had a beautiful ceremony!

50 Years of Love

Back in 2013, I Officiated the 50th Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal Ceremony of Annie & Hal, married on 11/28/63. Surrounded by family & friends, I unfolded their lives and history together. As they recited their Renewed Vows of Marriage, there was not a dry eye in the room! It was my pleasure to create a new memory for this lovely couple. I am thankful on this Thanksgiving Day to have had this amazing experience.

"Marie, Thank you for the beautiful ceremony. You exceeded my expectations and made it possible for long lasting memories. You are special! Blessings to you."

~ Annie and Hal Halvorson

Liz & Rob celebrated a vow renewal with 2 of their 5 kids in attendance. The importance of family & commitment is what Liz & Rob strive to teach the kids. They wrote their own vows & we incorporated a family sand unity ceremony.

Bon Jour! A Virtual Ceremony

In July 2018 I united Sabrina & Matt in marriage; the girls in their tutus stole the show! July 2021 I Officiated their 3 year vow renewal ceremony. Look how the kids have grown! I got so many hugs & kisses from this family I went home with a wrinkled shirt haha! (and a happy heart).

Bon Jour! A Virtual Ceremony

On 5/1/15 I joined Anthony & Geraldine in marriage in Seagrove Beach. On 5/1/20 I Officiated their 5 year wedding anniversary vow renewal ceremony via Zoom. MY 1ST VIRTUAL CEREMONY! This was a surprise for Anthony …Geraldine wore a pretty white dress & had a special bouquet made. They live in France, so thru FaceTime we keep in touch & I get to see them & their children, Nolan & Kaitlyn. They have become family to me & I wish them much love!

Kenzie & Scott did not have the best wedding day 4 years ago, so I created a special vow renewal ceremony, focusing on their growth, love & commitment for each other and to little Addie. “Marie, we finally have a true, happy memory to look back on thanks to you. Thank you again, so much”.

“I loved you then, I love you now…I always did…I always will.” ~ Michael & Lynne celebrated 40 years of marriage with a sunset vow renewal. They were so happy, you'd think it was their actual wedding day! Their loving family shared in their happiness.
