She's proposed to him numerous times to renew there vows but he doesn't because of his spiritual blifs.
My mother is very open minded (Catholic) and could do any type of ceremony of any type of religion or spirituality making it easy for her.
My father on the other hand just believes in God but doesn't wish to renew his vows in any religious or spiritual way meaning he just doesn't.
How can I convince my father to make my mother's and there dream wedding come true?
Does my mother have any chance on getting her dream wedding?
Suggestion:
Try sitting down and having a serious talk with your father. Ask him how much he loves your mother and how she makes him feel. Ask him to think back to when he first met your mother. I bet he would have done anything for her if he could have. Now he has the means to give her the special day that every woman dreams of when they were a little girls, a day that every woman deserves. There are many venues that can be used that aren't churches and no Bible verses have to be used in the ceremony at all. Let him know how serious you are about this and how much it would mean not only to her, but to you as well. If all goes to plan maybe he could even "re-propose" to her on Mother's day, I'm sure that would be very special.
Good luck!

You should wait until around the 25 year anniversary. Your dad might be planing around the 25 year mark. My parents renewed there vows on there tenth anniversary. IF your dad doesn't you and your mom will just have to give up on it. I know you want your moms big dream to be fulfilled but sometimes these things just wont work out. Ask your dad too. Does he know how much this means to your mom?
This is between them. There is really nothing you can do to change your father's mind. His beliefs are his beliefs. If they have lasted this long obviously they have a good thing going and the ceremony and reception are not really that big of a deal.
Get your dad hammered drunk and then bet him $100 he can't do it.
Thats a monumental task.(heavy on the mental). your old enough noiw so set up a plan by booking an all inclusive stay in cabo san lucas for them…..the hotel sets up beach weddings for free. Give your mom a ticket in her name and another ticket good for whomever she chooses to take.If your father won't honor her request then he is stubborn and selfish…and probably needs to be on his own anyway. Sounds like he is hiding behind a belief structure that isn't condusive to peace and harmony….its time for you to call his bluff and clear the air of his smoke screens.If he doesn't come around then let your mom go by herself, cabana boys are a dime a dozen….maybe she'll meet someone worthy there and have the other ticket for a return trip rendevue with someone that treats her special and values her wants and needs.
