Each Humanist wedding ceremony is unique, dignified and deeply personal. Humanists look on marriage as an equal partnership and a serious commitment that involves mutual love, support and respect. A humanist ceremony is a time when couples can declare all that they feel for each other in a way that feels right for them. The structure of the day is entirely up to you.

A number of couples like to reflect on and celebrate their relationship before they make their promises. The majority of ceremonies include readings and music, usually chosen for sentimental and personal reasons. The most important thing to remember is that the ceremony is about a public declaration of your love and commitment to each other.

At some point, the couple will make promises to each other; their words will bind them together in love. The ceremony includes vows devised by the couple, music, readings and any other symbolic actions the couple choose to make.

I can help you: Decide on the type of service you would like; readings; music; vows etc. Create a ceremony that’s personal to you.

Look at the various symbolic ways of celebration and commitment e.g. giving and receiving of wedding rings……………….       Handfasting………………………       rose exchange

I will write the entire service to reflect the important aspects of your relationship. If you prefer to write the service yourselves , then I will guide you on how this works best.
