My wife and I are traveling with a tour to Sicily in mid-October. We would like to break away from the tour when it reaches Agrigento and rent a car to visit Ribera, where her great grandmother left to come to America. It is in Ribera that we would like to renew our wedding vows. We are not Catholic. Any suggestions on how to arrange this up prior to leaving? Or can it be done while there?

Others that have actual experience with this may chime in with much more sound advice, but the first thought that came to mind is you may want to consider contacting a wedding coordinater in Sicily to help with the details, no matter how small. According to your needs (and the level of involvement you wanted to get), they'd be able to assist with things like transportation arrangement and finding an appropriate location/officiant.
Good luck!

Hmmm. You will be lucky to find a Roman Catholic priest in Ribera who will engage in such a thing for a couple of non-Catholics, and the chances of finding a non-Catholic clergyman in Ribera are slim to none. Perhaps your tour company can offer suggestions?
