Following popular requests, married couples now have a special way to celebrate their anniversaries as Clerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen introduces renewal of vow ceremonies, a first in Orange County’s history. Married couples can now reaffirm their vows at the Old Orange County Courthouse, the North County branch office in Anaheim, or the South County branch office in Laguna Hills. For a ceremony fee of just $28, couples can enjoy a memorable celebration and receive a complimentary souvenir certificate as a keepsake of the special day.
This service offers an opportunity for couples to celebrate milestone anniversaries, whether it’s their 5th or 50th, or to share a heartfelt moment with loved ones, including children and grandchildren. At no additional cost, couples can also livestream their ceremony via Zoom, allowing friends and family, regardless of distance, to join the celebration.
Though symbolic with no legal significance, the ceremony offers a meaningful way for couples to reaffirm their commitment. Whether celebrating a milestone anniversary, recreating a ceremony delayed by the pandemic, or simply looking for a unique way to honor their love, this renewal of vow promises an intimate and unforgettable experience.
“Getting married is an incredible milestone, and I believe couples deserve more than one celebration over the years,” said Clerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen. “I am excited to provide renewal of vow ceremonies for the first time in our department’s history and help married couples add another beautiful and memorable moment to their love story.”
There are no residency restrictions, and couples from anywhere are welcome to participate. To schedule a renewal of vow marriage ceremony, visit OCRecorder.com and click on the “Renewal of Vow Ceremonies for Married Couples” link on the homepage. Walk-ins are always welcome.
