Actor's Intimate Vow Renewal a Touching Farewell

James Van Der Beek and his wife Kimberly shared a deeply moving vow renewal ceremony in the days leading up to his passing on February 11. The intimate ceremony took place in their bedroom, a setting made special by the thoughtful efforts of their friends and family.

Friends surprised the couple by arranging the renewal with just two days' notice. They gifted new rings and transformed the bedroom into a romantic space with flowers and candles. The heartfelt service was further enhanced by music from their long-time friend, Poranguí, who played a beautiful rendition of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' to conclude the ceremony. Many friends joined to witness this tender moment remotely via Zoom.

The couple had been married for fifteen years and shared six children. This touching ceremony provided a beautiful final memory for Kimberly and their family.
