Back in 2009, Ramona and Mario Singer celebrated 17 years of marital bliss by saying "I do" for a second time on season 3 of The Real Housewives of New York City. Standing in front of 70 of their closest friends, family, and castmates at the Pierre Hotel, the two recited personal vows. "You've been my rock through troubled times. You have been my ray of sunshine, when I could not see the light,” Mario told her. Said Ramona: "You are the perfect man for me. You are a great husband, father, a great lover, and my best friend. … I can't imagine my life without you. I truly love you forever and ever.” Sadly, the Singers went their separate ways just three years later, after Mario was caught cheating. Their divorce was finalized in 2016, though they've come to be friends as they co-parent daughter Avery, 23.

Tamra and Eddie Judge wed in June 2013, a little over a year after her contentious divorce from ex Simon Barney was finalized. Their nuptials aired on a three-part Tamra's OC Wedding special. But when they decided to renew their vows four years later, the two did so away from the RHOC cameras, heading to Eagle Beach in Aruba for the Caribbean’s largest vow renewal ceremony. "Aruba is simply beautiful," Tamra told PEOPLE in August 2017. "It meant everything for Eddie and I to be able to ‘renew our I Do’s’ in such a picturesque setting, in the company of our family. Cheers to a lifetime of love and adventure, from the One happy island!"

"I want to move from this day forward to a new marriage," Vicki Gunvalson told her husband Donn on The Real Housewives of Orange County's fifth season, as the two celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary with a sunset vow renewal in the Turks & Caicos. "My love for you today is as strong as it's been in a very long time." It wasn't strong enough, though. Less than a year later, in 2010, Vicki filed for divorce, telling viewers her "love tank" had been running on empty. Their split was finalized in 2014.

Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas barely made it down the aisle the first time, during the third season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta — what with Bailey's sister and mother hiding their marriage certificate. So it was a sweet gesture when Thomas planned a surprise vow renewal for Bailey just two years later, in 2012. It all went down on the beach, during a cast trip to Anguilla. At the time, Bailey called it "the most romantic wedding any woman could ever want or dream of." Sadly, their dream became more of a nightmare. By March 2017, the couple had divorced.

Lydia and Doug McLaughlin enjoy vow renewals so much, they've done them three times! The Real Housewives of Orange County pair — who first tied the knot on April 30, 2006 — walked down the aisle again for their seventh wedding anniversary, then again for year 10, and finally for year 13 last August in Aruba. "I know that Doug is my person, and we will be together until death do us apart… but why should we only celebrate our love once in our lifetime!" the mother of three wrote on her blog. "Marriage is a journey and one worth celebrating.... We had a wonderful day and I’m sure it is not our last vow renewal!"
