Carol,
I think that renewing your vows is romantic.  Greg and I have our 
25th coming up next spring and I'm trying to think of a way of 
working renewing our vows into the celebration, somehow.  Greg also 
lost his wedding band about 20 years ago and I'm hoping to get it 
replaced for our 25th as well.  Anything one can do to re-enforce the 
wonderful blessing of long term commitment is okay in my book!  Now, 
about that second honeymoon...
Hmmm,
Kathy
