Is there any rite similar to the RC renewal of marriage vows?

There is a prayer to bless marriages on their anniversary. I think it is found in the Great Book of Needs, perhaps someone else know of an online source.

And a very nice one, too. We've done it a couple of times, and also provided the lunch after Liturgy to celebrate our anniversary. It was very "informal" - the priest simply called us up after Liturgy and gave us a blessing. Everyone sang "many years." I do, however, have a problem with the renewal of vows, in general. I said what I meant and I meant what I said the first time! (sort of like my fil, who told my mil, "I told you when we got married that I love you. If anything changes, I'll let you know."  |

No, I don't mean the "renewal of vows" precisely - just a blessing rite reserved for marriages only.

It was very "informal" - the priest simply called us up after Liturgy and gave us a blessing. Everyone sang "many years." Yeah, in parishes I've gone to, people mention anniversaries and birthdays, etc., to the priest ahead of time and he has everyone sing "Many years". They usually save it for major anniversaries. I do, however, have a problem with the renewal of vows, in general. I said what I meant and I meant what I said the first time! (sort of like my fil, who told my mil, "I told you when we got married that I love you. If anything changes, I'll let you know." Since there are no vows to really speak of in an Orthodox wedding, there's not really any point. "Bride, have you continued to not promise yourself to any other man?" |
