Renewal of vows
25 years after getting married we decided to renew our marriage vows. Actually we were first thinking to do this at a local church – but than we decided to just do it as a video. So all of you you witness and we can go back to listen to our own vows anytime in the future.
The recording was a very special – and also a very emotional – moment for the two of us.
But the vows are not just a video or a show – it is a statement, that even after 25 years we stick together – for better or worse. We believe it is important to make commitments to each other – especially in a time where it seems that the traditional view of marriage is replaced by an often short-term arrangement between two people. In German, there is a term “Lebensabschnittsgefährte” which literally means “Companion for a period of life”. But marriage is much more than that.
Hallo Rose und Thomas,
Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Zufällig sehe ich Euren Video und freue mich sehr, es ist super schön was Ihr zu Eurem 25. Jubiläum Euch einfallen lassen habt. Ich kann nicht gut Englisch und habe nicht alles verstanden, aber ich bin total fasziniert und werde heute abend gleich Rolf davon berichten. – Auch wir feiern dieses Jahr unsere Silberhochzeit und Ihr seid unser Vorbild.Vielen Dank dafür! Alles Liebe und viele Grüße an Euch nach Davao! Miriam Horndacher
