Scuba,

I could be wrong but I'm guessing Lynn is Catholic and would like a pastor of her own faith to oversee her ceremony.

My immediate thought was, since it's a vow renewal it doesn't have to be a religious or a legal service, unless that's absolutely what they want it to be, so I wonder if there's such a thing as a JP or other island official who might be able to do the honors. A judge or the Dutch equivalent to a JP?

In all probability, Its most likely the religious rites were performed a long time ago, and if so, the important part now would be the two people caring enough to want to renew them in the first place as opposed to who might officiate at the event.

Congratulations to the couple for caring enough in the first place as a silver anniversary is a major milestone today. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />
