Where a loving couple
is either legally unable or for their own reasons unwilling to marry, a
commitment ceremony provides the opportunity to formally affirm
their love and their mutual decision to spend the rest of their lives
together. Where both members of the couple are of the same
gender, a commitment ceremony is often referred to as a Pink Wedding.
Your love is special,
you are special, the ceremony in which you commit your love and your
lives should be just as special, transcending any limitations of
legality.
Personal
truly extraordinary ceremonies
bathed in love,
touched by magic, created just for you,
celebrating your love, reflecting your values, your
beliefs,
your vision for your special day.
Want
something unusual? Not a problem!
Although Australian Law at this time precludes legal marriages between
people of the same gender. because your commitment is celebrated in the
presence of loved ones and dear friends, it is an important
and moral act that provides a sense of stability and permanence.
Importantly, because you
are acknowledging the uniqueness and commitment of your relationship
and sharing your joy in it with those close to you, a commitment
ceremony will remind everyone present that love is not the sole
preserve of the straight, that lovers committing themselves to each
other is positive and speaks of hope to us all, that private love has
public consequences in that it raises up communities as well as
individuals.
While a commitment ceremony is very similar to a wedding, essentially
following the same structure, it should not
be a standard wedding ceremony with the legal bits left out.
While the omission of certain words and processes required by law in a
legal marriage ceremony ensures that your commitment ceremony does not
break the law, it is the
language of the heart and the extent to which the ceremony is authentic
to you - reflecting your styles, your personalities, your vision for
your ceremony and your relationship - that makes it real to you and to
your family and
friends. To achieve this authenticity I devote time and effort to get
to know you and
your wishes and dreams for your ceremony and to weave that information
into a ceremony created especially for you.
Teresa and Selena make their way down the
aisle
I accept full responsibility for the creation and stage-management of
your ceremony, but only as your facilitator. I will be honest and
straightforward in giving you my best advice, but it is your ceremony
so I will do nothing to disempower you or compromise your right to make
your ceremony uniquely yours.
