Are y’all feeling like 2025 is going to be different? I am. I truly feel the 2025 wedding season is going to be unlike anything we’ve seen before.
“Why?”, you ask.
It’s because 2025 marks five years since the beginning of the global Covid-19 pandemic, and since the fifth wedding anniversary is the first big milestone for married couples, I’m anticipating a lot of couples choosing to have an extra special celebration.
In fact I’ve already heard from a few couples that are wanting to have a take two on their “I do”s.
While a once-in-a-century pandemic raged, love endured and weddings marched forward. Not like usual, but they did take place.
Now that things are back to normal, these couples are planning vow renewal ceremonies to give their “I-do” a “Take Two”!
Think about it — has anything been normal the last five years?
The global pandemic upended everything we used to know. You thought five years of marriage was a big deal before?
Just consider what couples who got married in 2020 have made it through.
If you made it through your first five years of marriage AND these crazy conditions dictated by world events, you deserve to celebrate with more than just a wooden gift.
Does this sound like you?
2020 – Let’s just wait and see. Should we do a courthouse elopement?
2021 – At least the live stream was available. When can we do an in-person reception?
2022 – Yay, vaccines! Oh wait, not everyone is on board? What a mess! Let’s just have a small party with our best friends and our parents.
2023 – Boosters? Variants? This thing is still dangerous. Let’s go on an anniversary trip instead.
2024 – Back to normal, but we have a child now. We’re exhausted. Maybe next year.
See what I mean?
For the many couples who were forced online and into Zoom rooms on their one and only special day and robbed of intimate moments, 2025 might actually be the first real chance they have to renew their vows the way they wanted to do things in the first place.

Vow Renewal at Midcentury Manor, Las Vegas
“We were married in the Spring of 2011 and lived in Atlanta, Ga. until we decided to move to Europe in 2019. We currently live in Amsterdam and love it! The culture and proximity to the rest of Europe makes it a great place to raise a family but also have loads of fun as adults. We have three children. We travel the world with them and just try to have fun in our everyday life. Recently we were in Vegas to see U2 at the Sphere and got the idea to have a big party with our friends for our upcoming 13th anniversary, dubbed ‘Lucky 13’. There will be about 35 people in attendance from all over the world.”
If your special day was devoid of hugs and kisses from family and friends. Or stripped of the emotions summoned by the first few notes of the wedding march, 2025 can be your year!
It’s time to make up for what we lost. “Here Comes the Bride” is becoming “Here they come again,” this time with feeling!
That’s where a 2025 vow renewal ceremony organized by Cactus Collective Weddings comes in.
Make this year your chance to give your “I Do”s a “take two.”
Let Us Organize Your Special Vow Renewal Ceremony
Our vow renewal package includes everything you need for reaffirming your love!
Did flimsy disposable masks ruin your perfect pictures?
Was the courthouse in your hometown not exactly the destination you dreamed of?
Was the guest list lacking your loved ones?
Did fears of spreading the virus overwhelm what should have been an overjoyed occasion?
If you got married in 2020 then the answer is most likely “YES.”

10 Year Vow Renewal at Green Valley Ranch Casino, Las Vegas
“Why have you chosen an intimate wedding over a traditional wedding? We had a wedding in June 14, 2014. It was lovely, but a lot of it felt at the whim of what other people wanted. I loved the idea of a private vow renewal ceremony where we had totally control and we could celebrate just the two of us with no pressure or outside thoughts.”
According to The Knot’s 2020 Real Weddings Study, 90 percent of couples made changes to their wedding plans due to COVID-19 during the worst of the pandemic in 2020.
So, while you may have felt like you missed out, you shouldn’t feel alone. Now it’s your turn to get it right.
Perhaps your dream was an elopement or micro wedding, but you envisioned it without all the constraints that the pandemic placed on your special day.
A five-year vow renewal ceremony is your chance for a do-over.
Cactus Collective Weddings is here to make the dream a reality. If your 2020 wedding was super stressful, we’re here to make your five-year vow renewal ceremony stress-free.

33rd Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal at Red Rock Canyon, Las Vegas
“We are celebrating our 33rd anniversary. We wanted to have a vow renewal that was just us and our kids. Since my mom “banned” them from our actual wedding (long story…they were four months old). My husband and I are fairly low key but love to travel. We were in Las Vegas in October for a U2 show, but we both love Vegas.”
