In a ceremony that lasted approximately 20 mintues, Captain Henk Keijer officiated at the vow renewal of Kristen and Bill aboard Holland-America's ms Westerdam.
These are among the words he recited to renew the couple's vows:
-
On behalf of the entire ship’s complement, we are delighted to be part of this very special celebration, the renewal of your commitment to each other made on your wedding day.
During the intervening years, you may have lived through sickness and health, pain and pleasure, failure and success.
Yet because of your love for one another, you have persevered through the bright sunlight of the mountaintops and the depths of the sea.
Your love has brought you to this joyous occasion, where hand-in-hand you renew your vows of love and trust in each other.
You have come aboard the ms Westerdam to confirm to each other and make public today that your destinies shall be one and your joys forevermore shall not be known apart.
