vow renewals....popular but necessary???

This was a busy weekend in celebrity land for couples renewing their wedding vows.  Really,  after only 1 year of marriage these couples feel it is needed to renew vows they took so recently?  Did you forget so soon what they were?  or are you afraid that your spouse has forgotten?

Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes and Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon all renewed their wedding vows over the weekend.  Are these couples madly in love or having problems that they are trying to fix?

I seem to recall that Seal and Heidi Klum renewed their wedding vows every anniversary.  Now after 7 years of marriage and all of those renewal ceremonies they have broken up.

Shouln't renewal of the vows be for couples who have been married a long time, like maybe 20 or more years?  or couples who have come close to splitting up and saved their marriage?  It just may be that the celebrities can afford to do it so they do, where as us regular married people feel like I already paid for the wedding.  If you need me to renew them, maybe you just need a refresher in what they were in the first place.

Well, we will all see if these couples do better in the long run since they are all renewed.
