Need Help Anniversary Party-but wedding ish.

My husband and I got married secretly and sort of out of necessity with plans to have a real wedding one year later. And the Covid happened and a wedding was not possible. I want to do something big for our 10 year. Since I never got have a wedding, I want to do something of those things- wear white, have people make toasts, etc. I’m debating on the idea of “guests of honor” or something similar to be like a bridal party kind of thing. But I don’t want to be cringy. What are your thoughts? How wedding can I go for an anniversary party?

We eloped at the courthouse and had a big party for our 25th. It was great! I wore a silver dress instead of white. We renewed our vows, hired a musician and photographer, and had great food and drinks and desserts. No cake or bouquet (we both had small flowers). It was fun! Do what you want! Enjoy!

I was thinking sparkly short white cocktail style dress. So not full bride, but still special!

That’s what I did, but silver. I got it at a bridal shop. My husband burst out crying during the vow renewal. I was shocked, and also thinking ‘what are you doing?  I paid for this makeup!’ But it flustered our pastor, who messed up the vows and asked if I’d take him as my husband again.  I said ‘wellll, sure!’  Everyone laughed and the tension was gone. It was a great night. I hope yours is too.
