Renewal of Vows and Commitment Ceremonies

RENEWAL OF VOWS                        
 
A renewal or reaffirmation ceremony allows you to renew your original marriage vows, promises and commitment to each other.
 
Renewal ceremonies can be celebrated for various reasons:
 

You may have been married overseas, or interstate, and you want your immediate family and friends to be a part of your wedding vow renewal.

You want to reaffirm your love and commitment for each other.

To celebrate a special wedding anniversary by renewing your marriage vows.

Some couples may have been through a difficult time in their lives and use a renewal ceremony as a symbol of their positive hopes for the future.
I will write a ceremony to suit you and your circumstances. You can have as much, or as little input, into the wording and choice of readings as you wish. It is not a legal Marriage Ceremony as such, but follows a similar format. You will be presented with a reaffirmation certificate as a memento of your decision to renew your marriage vows.

A CIVIL COMMITMENT
 
Some couples may not wish to have a registered marriage ceremony but would like to publicly express their commitment to each other.
This can be done with a commitment ceremony which is very similar to a wedding ceremony but does not use the words prescribed by law and of course is not recognised as a legal marriage.
A commitment ceremony is also appropriate for same sex couples. In Australia, same sex marriages have not yet been recognised in law, but to the couples concerned their commitment to each other is the same as in any other wedding ceremony.
 
The ceremony follows a similar format to a marriage ceremony. Contact me and I can write a ceremony that suits your personal needs and wishes.
