A commitment ceremony is a meaningful and dignified ceremony. It is for adult couples of any gender who wish to celebrate their commitment to each other without undergoing the legal requirements of marriage or civil partnership.

A commitment ceremony is about making a public declaration of life-long commitment, love, and dedication between 2 people, shared with family and friends, or held privately without guests.

To assist you with creating your ceremony, Civil Weddings will supply an outline structure and choices for planning purposes.

Do think carefully about who you would like to invite. Think about the words you will say to one another, and whether you wish to include readings, exchange rings or gifts, the choice is yours. The ceremony will be structured according to your needs, making it a special occasion. The ceremony does not provide you with any legal rights or responsibilities.
