Jessica & Corey
The Couple and Their Decision to Plan an Amalfi Coast Vow Renewal
Whether you want to recommit your love to each other or celebrate a new chapter in your marriage, choosing to renew your vows can be such a meaningful way to celebrate your love with your partner.
I remember when Jessica and Corey first reached out to inquire about their Amalfi Coast vow renewal. The couple shared with me that although their original wedding day was beautiful, it hadn’t included any of the things that they had wanted to do.
Their wedding had been for other people and the more time they spent together as a married couple, the more they realized how much had changed since their first wedding. Not only had they been married for a few years, but they now had a baby.
This time around they wanted to celebrate their commitment to each other in the way that THEY wanted. They wanted their baby to be a part of their day and have a wedding experience that reflected the type of relationship they shared.
Jessica and Corey’s Amalfi Coast Vow Renewal
Knowing that their baby was just going to be about 6 or 7 months, Jessica and Corey decided to invite a couple of their closest friends to join them for their vow renewal in Italy. So on this day, it was two couples, two babies, and one Airbnb.
Jessica and Corey’s getting ready moments were a whole family affair. Little Emme joined her parents for some family moments as they each got ready. These are some of my most favorite photos of all, because it’s so true to these everyday moments as a new parent. So often you spend time together, helping each other get dressed, taking care of each other. That intentional time is so simple, but so beautiful and so sacred.
After the couple shared a private first look on the terrace, their friends joined them for their Amalfi Coast vow renewal ceremony. Of course, baby Emme was there too, switching between parents while Jessica and Corey took turns sharing their vows.
After the ceremony, the baby stayed behind to take a nap and the three of us decided to run around town and explore the architecture of the Amalfi Coast town.
Our original plan was actually to get on a boat to go out on the water, but it was quite windy that day so we had to pivot and change plans last minute. We ended up just walking on the beach as the sun went down and blue hour happened.
One of the most beautiful things about the Amalfi Coast, is that this time of day, after the sun goes down, the lights from the houses up in the hill go on, making the whole area feel even more magical. Of course, we stayed outside as long as we could before walking back to the Airbnb where a private chef had prepared a yummy Italian meal for the whole group.
Henry’s Vow Renewal Tip
Vow renewals aren’t making something new out of nothing. Choosing to celebrate your marriage with a vow renewal is choosing to celebrate the relationship that you’ve been building together over the years.
After you have been with someone for a long time, that’s when you learn so much more about not only who they are, but who you are as a person and who you are as a partner in this partnership. And as it was with Jess and Corey’s unique situation, it’s also about learning how you are as parents.
My tip for couples is to celebrate each milestone to the fullest because what else is truly the point of life if not to celebrate it? Go big. Do the thing that you know speaks to your heart.
And just because your original wedding plan didn’t turn out the way that you wanted, doesn’t mean that’s the end of it. There’s always a way to celebrate your love.
