Thank you all for all your assistance - even if you didnt know you were providing it to me.

Now - How do i present it to her? I have been trying to figure this out for some time (As you can tell - i dont rush to much).


I was thinking about renewing my Vows. I dont want to just hand her the box.


Any sugestions?



Why Not?



I forgot to tell you the reason of why I vote for renewing your vows.

On the top of it''s all you two''s birthday and 15 years ann. It''s also like- It has been 15 years since we first got married, and look at us now.





 
Are you located close to where you first proposed or got married? Perhaps surprise her by telling her to dress for a lovely evening out (surpise factor- take her to one of those two places) and have a minister or whatever you need there and you two can renew your vows, just the two of you to make it special.
 
A little more background:

After 4 years of hard work, My wife is just completing her degree in education this December. We have scheduled a family vacation (she knows about that) in December. I have arranged to have a vow renewal ceramony (she doesnt know this) while we are on vacation. I have two children (11 and 9) and I want to get them involved in the vow renewal.

I didnt want to just give her the box and tell her about the vow renewal. Im not sure if i want to get one one knee on our first night and re propose, but i cant think of a good way to give her the ring and tell her about our vow renewal ceramony.

Help!
 
Good googly-moogly! What an amazing wedding set. Make sure you are sitting down when you give it to her 'cause she's gonna pass out!!!

ETA: Happy 15th!....and 40th!
 
I wonder if you like to do something as follows:

Ask your wife for her Engagement Ring and Wedding Ring before the renewal ceramony and tell her that you want to tie the rings on the the ring pillow so one of your kids can be the ring bearer. Than you can have one of your kid carry her original ring sets and have the other carry the new sets so both of your kids can get involved with the renewal ceramony. About the "get on one knee" part...If you have doubt about it, don''t do it... You are intitled of being as happy and comfortable at your renewal ceramony as well....



 
that is really very pretty. i am so excited for her and she doesnt even know... you are so sweet.

I love that idea! I think im going to do that. The only thing i dont like is this:

My Vow renewal will probably be on the 4th day of an 8 day vacation. That means i have to hold onto the ring (and not give it to her), for 4 extra days. Its bad enough waiting 2 1/2 months, but now i have to be on vacation and wait 4 more days uggg...

I was hoping to do something the first night.

But like i said - if there is no other ideas - then i really like Kaori''s Idea.

Thank You Kaori!!!
 
Its TRUUUUUULLY scrumptious.....

What a sneak you are.......she is going to be totally bowled over. You must be close to sheer agony waiting to give it to her... You are a thoughtful and caring husband............WELL DONE!
 
She will absolutely love it!
 
I was thinking if you like to bring her out for a fancy dinner on the first night. During the dinner, tell her how much you enjoy and appreciate her for this 15 years and you cannot be any more proud of her with her new earned degree. Tell her that you might be too nerous of telling her all this on your renewal ceramony, so you want to get the words out of your system. While you do all this, HOLD ON to the ring and do not show any sign of it. I bet your wife will be all tearing up and think how special that you have made her feel, she might think "there is nothing can top that."

Then give her the ring at the renewal ceramony.....

. Just picture your wife's expression when she receive the ring after all this time that you have been waiting for.

Since you have been waiting for 2 and 1/2 month already, why can't you wait just a little longer....In my opinion, it's totally worth the wait.

Your wife is one lucky lady. That setting is absolutely stunning. I''ve added your pics to my folder for when I upgrade (hope you don''t mind). Love it!!! Please post hand shots after the trip!
 
What a sweet husband you are! She is gonna be through the roof! I really like kaori''s idea

OK - i think i know what im going to do. Im going to give her just the engagement ring the first night (dont know the details) and tell her about the vow renewal. She wont know I have a matching Band.

Then im going to take your Idea and ask her for her current wedding band so the kids can give us the rings, and I will switch out the bands.

I also look foorward to showing her this site since i spent so much time here. I will let her post her remarks and hand shots in January when we are back.

I have attached additional side views.

Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations on the anniversary and happy birthdays! I think my hubby needs to get a link to this thread. ;)
 

OK - I''ve had the ring for almost 4 months now (its killing me)

- I have my plan (surprise with the ring the first night, and surprise with wedding band when we renew our vows 4 days later) thanks to you all.


I have 26 days left until i give it to her - and waiting.......


I have posted another picture and I will be sure "she" posts a response when we get back. I hope she likes it!

It has a very Art Deco vibe to it; and Art Deco is always a wonderful choice!
 
Fabulous! What a great surprise.
 
Just gorgeous, and so romantic. Congrats!
 
that''s a great anni/bday present.
It''s stunning
 
Wowee! That is an exquisite ring!! Just beautiful!
 
She is going to be REALLY surprised!!!
 
Well the rings are beyond gorgeous! Great job on that surprise!

And I love all the ideas...especially giving her one ring the first night. But here''s another thought: What if on the first night while out to that romantic dinner you only told her about the renewal ceremony and that''s the surprise that night. Then at the actual ceremony, have the minister ask for all your rings so that they can be blessed again (saying something like....."bless these rings so that they will bring this happy couple another 15 years of love.....etc). Then when he gives the rings back, wahlah!!! it''s the new rings..... The children could still be involved as the ring bearers...one of them carries your ring, one of them carries her ring. But the minister would have the new rings and he would hand those to you to put on her finger.

Might be a fun and nice surprise if she is into BIG surprises. That would knock me over.

No matter how you do it, it will be a memory that lasts a lifetime. Can''t wait to hear about it and to see pics of those beautiful rings on her finger!!

Have fun!
 
I think it''s great that you #1) bought a ring she loves and want to surprise her with it and #2) want to renew your vows (if only I could get my DH to do this!). I think if you just say what''s in your heart when you present her with the ring (before.... she won''t be able to hear you for a few minutes after she opens the box...) and offer to renew your vows.. let her set up the ''renewal'' as she wants (a few friends as witnesses or just the 2 of you.

Again, congratulations, and nice work!
 
Awwww....what a sweet husband you are! She is lucky to have you! The rings are beyond stunning. Congrats on your Anni!

Gorgeous ring! Your wife is a lucky gal.

A slight suggestion: Remember how you wanted to give her the engagement ring on the first day and the band on the day you renew your vows...
I thought it''d be cute if you did it the other way around... just give her the band on the first day and not say anything about the vows being renewed, she''ll say "aww what gorgeous band, thanks hubby your the best"...

Then early on the 4th day (with a bottle of champagne and flowers) you could tell her that you planned out a vow renewal ceremony for that night and that you need her rings so that the priest can bless them for the ceremony.
Then when the ceremony night comes you can have your darling children walk down with both sets, she''ll only be expecting the wedding band so I think she''ll really be WOWed when she sees that gorgeous rock!

I feel like the surprise builds and just gets better and better that way (a beautiful band builds to beautiful flowers and the announcement of the vow renewal, then the beautiful vow renewal builds to a beautiful ring)

No matter what you do or what order you do it in though, she''ll be happy
