Wouldn’t it be great to start your married life with a ceremony that really means something? To tell your friends and family what your relationship means to you, and why you are choosing to get married?
Many of us who aren’t religious are looking for a wedding that is more flexible and personal than a civil or register office ceremony.
A humanist, non-religious wedding ceremony gives you the opportunity to marry where you want, when you want and how you want. There’s no set script: it’s too personal an occasion for that. Instead, each wedding is tailored to meet the particular couple’s requirements. You can set the tone that’s right for you and choose your own words and music.
Humanist weddings are perfect for couples who would like:
A meaningful ceremony that isn’t religious
To marry outdoors or at a location that isn’t licensed for civil weddings
The flexibility to create a personal ceremony that is unique to them
To get to know the person who will be conducting their wedding
To celebrate their marriage with family and friends but without legally registering it – perhaps they have already undertaken the formalities overseas, for example.
You could call them “free”, “made to measure” or “humanist” weddings, and you’d be right with all of them! The idea behind these ceremonies is that you decide how you want your wedding to be, without any interference from others. They are made-to-measure by you, so that they become unique to you two, because you two are unique!
Humanist? Well, in Spain the concept is still a little new, but is steadily taking root. A humanist wedding is based on you expressing your values, what you believe in, without clashing with any religious beliefs. A humanist, non-religious wedding ceremony gives you the opportunity to marry where you want, when you want and how you want.
