Whether planning a formal, white wedding, affirmation or
something less conventional it is important that the marrying couple really
enjoy it.
Their wedding should be exactly where, when and how they want it to
be.
A traditional church wedding, with ritual and religious words does not fit with
everyone’s outlook on life or hopes for the future.
The laws governing Register Office weddings strictly control what can be said
or done.
These ceremonies are designed around a standard framework. It is not
currently possible to be legally married out of doors and there are limitations
on time, place and content of ceremonies.
A Celebrant wedding/affirmation can take place anywhere and be designed to suit
the individuals. It may be as dignified and serious as a church wedding, but
with the religious element replaced by words and music that have real meaning
for the couple.
They can be as romantic and creative in designing their
ceremony as they wish. Celebrant ceremonies have been held in gardens,
marquees, on boats, in castles, on beaches.
Many couples choose to stand facing their guests, for a more open and inclusive
feeling. Couples with children can make them a part of the ceremony. No two
ceremonies are the same – they can be as traditional or as unusual as suits the
people marrying.
The ceremony can take any form you choose at any venue and in any style.
There are a wide range of readings, poems, songs, music and elements from many
cultures that can be incorporated
Anyone can speak and many of our couples choose for close family members,
fathers, sons and close friends to actively participate in the ceremony.
The vows can be whatever you wish to say and the Wedding Celebrant can advise and guide on all
aspects of the ceremony the choice is yours:
Extract from the Celebrant Ring Ceremony
For thousands of years lovers have exchanged rings as a token of their vows.
These simple gold bands are not of great value in them selves but are made
precious by our wearing of them.
Your
rings say that even in your uniqueness you have chosen to be bound together.
Let these rings also be a sign that love has substance as well as soul, a
present as well as a past, and that, despite its occasional sorrows,
Love is a circle of happiness, wonder, and delight.
Just as this circle is without end, my love for you is eternal
Just as it is made of indestructible substance my commitment to you will never fail
With this ring I take you to be my trusted confidante
and partner for life.
It is important to point out that by English Law you
must have already been legally married before your 'Special' wedding
ceremony takes place. After which this ceremony can take place anywhere
you wish - your garden - in a Marquee or in any other grand building -
your choice.
