I love the detail about vow-renewal ceremonies, especially because I don't watch these shows enough to have known this was a thing!

That's good to know! It could be easy for me to assume that something like this is well known, but obviously not :)

I spent years devising fake movies in my mind. I can never figure out this entirely-bizarre interest.
