Today's our 25th anniversary, and we did NOT go to Gatlinburg. Why not?
Because every single teeny wedding chapel in the area wants $200, yes two
hundred dollars just for two people to renew their wedding vows in a five minute
ceremony.
We wouldn't've minded $100-$150 for one night in a cabin there, but another $200
to renew, just because its the Smoky Mountains and Gatlinburg?
Totally outrageous, or as my sister aptly put it: Holy RipOff, Batman!
So, we're spending the day window shopping after we fix the fridge, then going
out for a nice quiet dinner later on.
So far, the phone has not rung with any congrats..... guess things are different
than they were 40 some years ago, Siver Anniversary's were SUCH a
big deal then, with big parties etc.
Have a really great day everyone, I'm offline the rest of the day!
Hugs,
Noreen

That's disgraceful.
Anyway, if you've made it to 25 you shouldn't need to renew :-)

Ours was a small party but people kept on coming and we had to move round
the table and bring in more chairs, like the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. It was
memorable.

Well, I hope you had a great day too and a great evening and ... well,
congratulations. Only another 25 years to the next Big One :-) That doesn't
mean you shouldn't celebrate your Pearl 930), ruby (40) and Sapphire (45 and
difficult to get cards for but we had a lot of fun with everyone dressing in
blue, punting on the Cam - Cambridge is the pale blue university, Oxford is
the dark blue - eating blue foods and finding wines in blue bottles!)

Avoid the wedding chapels (dreadful terminology!) and go to a "real"
church or chapel, Episcopalian, Baptist etc. Here in the UK most places
I know of won't even charge or at least ask for a nominal donation.

Most of them around where I live will unless you are already affiliated
with the church somehow.

If you have no link with them why would you want to renew your vows there?
