Will you be just two of you or a group? Formal or informal? I know most people refer to vow renewal in front of a JP or priest or other. We have renewed our vows to each other in many different places at many different times without a witness (unless you consider the pelicans in Francis Bay) over the course of 30 years. StJ has been a place where we have done it a few times.

Just two or a small group formal or informal - Saloman
Formal group - Peace Hill @ sunset, Trunk Bay around sunrise, Trunk Bay around sunset (no-seeum issues), The Trunk Bay overlook???
Just two - in Francis Bay, or Maho @ sunset with a bottle of champagne.

I guess my favorite place on StJ that I have renewed my vows was on the trail back from Saloman with two chairs, a cooler and a beach bag at or just after dusk even after having forgoton the mosquito repellent and a flashlight (a rarity when we are on StJ). I figured that coverd the for better or worse.

thanks for the reply toes. will be just the two of us and informal but a surprise for my wife. right now from reading old posts i'm thinking hawksnest in the am with "anne marie" as the officiant. since it will be a surprise i have to figure out what kind of story i can cook up to get her dressed/makeup a bit in the am. nothing too fancy but i'd like to have some good photos and she'd kill me if i took her out there in shorts and a tee shirt! any recommendations for photography? i figured i'd sneak a bottle of champagne and pick some flowers wherever i could find them...

any other suggestions would be welcome

Does she know that you are active on the forum? If so you could tell her that a forum member invited a group of people to take a morning group photo on the beach for the forum. Tell her to put on a sundress and pack a suit for the beach later.

We are using Eliza Magro Photography for an upcoming trip. She's been excellent to work with so far, and I've heard many good things about her from others as well. www.elizamagrophotography.com
