Who says weddings have to be a once in a lifetime opportunity? For some lucky couples, they get to experience it all over again when they walk down the aisle to renew their vows. Saying “I do” for the second time allows these couples to reaffirm their love for one another and gives them the chance to once again celebrate with their closest family and friends.
Of course, plenty of famous couples have jumped at the chance to commemorate their love for the second time. While most of these vow renewal ceremonies were more low key than the usual celebrity affair, these stars say it was even more meaningful than their real wedding day.
Find out which famous couples said “I do” for the second time…
1. Sam & Aaron Taylor-Johnson
After a decade of marriage, Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson decided to tie the knot for the second time. The couple celebrated the occasion with their closest friends and family, sitting down for a meal before dancing the night away.
“Yesterday was the most beautiful day, summer solstice, our 10th anniversary… we renewed our vows to one another and confessed our love in front of our nearest and dearest friends and family it was a celebration of love and joy! A decade of marriage. It was a magical unforgettable day and the sun did not stop shining on us both.. we are blessed beyond belief. ❤️ Sammy you are my love, my life, my soulmate, my wife, my world!” Aaron wrote on Instagram.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have renewed their vows on two separate occasions. In 2014, the couple reportedly said “I do” during a family vacation in Corsica, celebrating on a private beach. Then in 2018, the couple marked 10 years of marriage by renewing their vows once again. The duo shared footage from the ceremony during a concert and Beyoncé later reflected about it on Instagram.
“At 36, I became a new mother of three. I breastfed my twins. I renewed my vows with my husband of 10 years…This year has been monumental for me…I’m looking forward to continuing to learn from my past, living in the present, and surrendering to the future,” Beyoncé wrote.
