Vow Renwal
 
We are traveling to Amalfi Coast in June and I got a wild idea to renew my vows to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We would be traveling with our children.
Was thinking of something casual with maybe a photographer .. not to much else.

Will you have a priest officiate? Do you speak Italian? How casual? On a cliff or beach or something like that?

I'll bet you are the wife, men always get railroaded into this stuff. There are lots of businesses that do this in Italy, I haven't heard of any personal recommendations, but just google vow renewal amalfi and you'll find tons. They won't be cheap so might want to find out if your husband is on board with this idea and the cost.

Where are you staying? Which hotel?

We do not speak Italian. Casual as in I would have a dress and he would have button and shorts... A beach or cliff would be nice.
I am the wife and no I dont think husband would be railroaded. I'll do some more searching.

Depending on your hotel, it's possible you can do this in some lovely spot on the hotel's grounds with the minor assistance (photographer, small bouquet of flowers, bottle of champagne and 2 glasses, whatever) of someone on the hotel's staff. You'd only have to pay the bills and give a tip to the staff person.

If you haven't selected your hotel yet, you might look specifically for a property with a garden or terrace. A few, albeit high-end, ideas:

You wouldn't need to speak Italian unless you were planning to do something 'official' which isn't what you're describing.

Thanks , Jean. We are going to be to have the blessing at the hotel. Looking forward to our trip.
