Vow Renewals

alb · Marc Jacobs

hmm, that's a tough one. i'm not sure it's typical to give gifts at vow renewal ceremonies, but then again i have never been to one so i don't know. if a gift is appropriate, maybe you could give them something that focuses on time spent together b/c he has a terminal condition. for example, you could get together with a group of people and give a joint gift cert. for a night or two at a nice hotel, resort, spa, or B&B. That's all that is coming to my mind right now, but hope it helps a little.

also, you could give some type of sentimental gift that focuses on memories, like a photo almbum filled with pictures of the two of them or some type of scrapbook of their life together?

How long have they been married?

I like the idea of getting them something that allows them to spend some time together. Do you have some mutual friends? It could be nice to go in on a gift with a bunch of other people and get them a weekend spa package thing at a nice hotel or something like that.

I'm so sorry to hear that he's ailing. I don't know if gifts are expected, but it would feel right to give them something small and personal. What about a mix CD of romantic songs, with their wedding picture on the cover?
