I work with couples who are not affiliated with a religious institution, or do not share the same one, to provide them a wedding ceremony both warmer and more personal than what a Justice of the Peace might offer. Would you like a custom-designed ceremony that will
tell your story, joyously celebrate your union, touch your hearts,and invigorate your loved ones? Your ceremony can be spiritual, ligh
t-hearted, romantic, contemporary...it's YOUR ceremony, and I want to make sure that you love it. What is the difference between a marriage ceremony, a renewal of vows ceremony, and a commitment ceremony? These ceremonies are similar in that they all involve an affirmation of love and commitment. A marriage ceremony is a legal proceeding, recognized by every state in the Union. To proceed with a marriage ceremony, you must
first obtain a marriage license, which gives the legal component to the ceremony. For some people there is also a religious, or spiritual,
component to a marriage ceremony, but this is completely in the control of the couple. Vow renewal ceremonies voluntary ceremonies, with no legal component. Typically ceremonies of this type are held to commemorate a
special occasion or anniversary, as they are performed for a couple already married. They provide a wonderful vehicle for re-affirming faith, love and fidelity between the spouses, and offer the family a chance to honor and celebrate the couple. A commitment ceremony is the term most often used when same-gender couples wish to express their love and devotion in a public way.
