I'm wondering - did that happen 100 years ago? Or is that a recent phenomena? Anyone know?

I can't recall any vow renewals held at the church when I was a kid or teen, or any among my very large extended family of many aunts, uncles, and cousins on both sides...none of the neighbors, none of my friends or acquaintances or military couples as we moved from base to base in the 1960's, 70's, or 80's.
It's a nice idea, but I do wonder about people who do the renewal after only 4 or 5 or even 10 year of marriage. It takes at least that long to know if you actually might have married the right person, much less renew the vows! I had an aunt who divorced her husband after 60 years of marriage. They pretty much hated each other for about 50 or so of those years!!

His suit is too big for him. I'm guessing it was borrowed.

Poor women no means of being self-supportive they probably felt being the 3rd wife was better than a life of poverty with children to raise. I feel blessed to be living today where I can make choices.
Mary Crestani Silantyev they probably inherited more children. Large families back then weren't there.
According to another comment, re: their birth dates and marriage date, They were 26 and 23 when they married in 1872. They had been married 43 years when this photo was taken. I had a GG Grandfather who was married 4 times. Two divorces, one wife died, and his 4th wife was my GG Grandmother. He had 3 children from 1st marriage, 1 from the second, none with the one who died, and 6 with the 4th wife. The 4th remarried after his death, but is buried by his grave, in a pioneer cemetery. He came to Oregon over the Oregon trail, in 1847, with the one who would become his 1st wife.
It looks like a wedding to me. In those days life was very hard and many marriages were not just done out of love, but for helping each other's stressful life in order to survive.
There were men who have lost their wives early and they re-marry for a need of child, household, and emotional stability carrier.
