Mine and Jared’s Rome Vow Renewal

Rome in my opinion is one of the most beautiful and cinematic backdrops for an elopement that I even planned my own 2 year vow renewal with my husband Jared in Rome. Growing up whenever I saw Italy in films or heard people talk about it, I was always drawn to it. Then one day I spontaneously booked flights for my husband and I to go to Milan and Rome and I immediately started planning a vow renewal. We never actually got to exchange vows when we got married since we intended of exchanging them privately and it just never happened.

Our vow renewal full of fun adventures, sight seeing, throwing coins in the Trevi Fountain and followed by the most romantic private vow renewal in Rome. It was one of the most perfect days. We started off by getting ready at our airbnb then getting pastries at our favorite bakery, heading to our vow renewal spot, exchanging vows and taking photos, then we went back to our airbnb, changed and went off onto our half day tour of the pantheon, roman forum and colosseum. For diner we went to our favorite restraunts for red pasta and gellato. It was such a memorable day that we were able to have sharing our love for each other and getting to make memories.
