  • Renewal of Vows
  • Life Partner Vows
  • Same Sex Unions

There are many personal reasons why you may ask a celebrant to perform a commitment ceremony rather than marriage in the legal sense. Whatever your choice, there is something special about speaking your commitment in front of your friends and the world.

RENEWING YOUR VOWS
After some years together, couples often find a joy in renewing their vows. It can be very simple on a mountaintop or waterfall or it can be a lavish wedding-like affair. What's important is that the couple is reconnecting with the vows they cherished when they first wed.

LIFE PARTNER VOWS
You and your partner are very happy with your relationship the way it is. A commitment ceremony is a public expression of the love you have for each other. It is saying "I give my word" and honouring your words of commitment rather than being bound by the legalities of a formal marriage.

SAME SEX UNIONS
At this time, our government does not allow the legal form of marriage expect for the marriage of a man to a woman. Gay and Lesbian ceremonies announce to your friends and community that you are indeed life partners in a loving committed relationship.

WRITING YOUR VOWS
You can write your own ceremony, copy from a book or our website, or have your celebrant write a ceremony that suits your needs, your family arrangements, and your special day. Use the links at the right to view the sort of things you might use - you may use or adapt any of those.

Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the
imagination and bottling the common sense.
