With summer weddings and anniversaries upon us, Robbins Brothers conducted a survey in the spirit of the rising trend to say “I do” again. We found that many couples have not yet renewed their vows but are open to the idea and most individuals would prefer to receive a new ring all together at the ceremony. Survey results also revealed that many couples prefer to create new vows rather than restating the original ones.
