Love Rekindled: A Remarkable Reunion Wedding After Divorce

 Love Finds a Way – Even After Divorce

In my nine years as a wedding registrar, I’ve been privileged to witness hundreds of weddings, each one special in its own way.

A few weekends ago, I conducted a ceremony that will stay with me for a long time.

It was only the second time in nearly a decade that I’ve seen a couple remarry each other after divorcing. And what made it even more moving was the simplicity and emotion that was evident in the ceremony room.

The couple had originally married in 19**, in a church ceremony surrounded by loved ones. Life, as it sometimes does, brought challenges, and in 2011, after 2* years of marriage, they divorced.

But their story didn’t end there. Just one year later, they found their way back to each other.

They realised that, despite everything, they were better together. That they still loved each other and always had. In 2025, they decided to make it official again, and this time, it was just the two of them, their two grown-up children acting as witnesses, and their grandchildren.

No grand announcements, no fuss. In fact, they hadn’t told anyone else about their plans, not family, not friends, not colleagues. The ceremony was held at our local registry office, intimate and full of meaning. 

After they left the Registry Office, they were heading out for pizza as a family. 

Then, and only then, they planned to text their wider circle: 

“We got married. Again.”

As a registrar, I like to remain calm and composed, but I’ll admit this one got me. The bride and groom were visibly emotional throughout, their eyes brimming with tears. It wasn’t just about vows or paperwork; it was about the rare chance to start again with the same person, wiser and more certain.

These are the stories I cherish most: the unexpected ones, the second chances, the quiet declarations of lifelong love.

Weddings come in all shapes and sizes, but sometimes the smallest ones carry the biggest feelings.
