retaking wedding vows

I was married in 1980 and honeymooned in Hawaii. Retiring next year - planning to take my wife and two children (with their prospective fiance's) to Hawaii to celebrate retiring from teaching after thirty years. Want to surprise my wife and re-take our vows while in Hawaii. What is etiquette - another ring - or any piece of jewelry - or do I need to worry about that and just have a special celebratory dinner after having a justice of the peace (as we did in our marriage) renew our vows. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Dear Paul
While no ring is REQUIRED, many men present their wives with what is called an eternity ring or a three-stone diamond ring (with the 3 diamonds representing past, present and future)to be worn in addition to the original wedding and engagement rings. It is up to you whether or not you wish to do this, but I'm sure she would love it unless she doesn't care for jewelry--which is rare in women. Both three-stone and eternity bands come in styles and sizes to fit all budgets. Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary--30 years is a major accomplishment these days!!
Wishing You Many Many More,
Limo Princess
