Renewals

The ceremony can take whatever form you would like, whether it be similar to your original wedding ceremony or something completely different. Often couples renew their vows if they have been married overseas.

For the bride, it is a great opportunity to wear her wedding dress again and a lovely way to celebrate with family and friends who could not be at your wedding.

Commitments

A commitment ceremony is a wonderful way for couples to declare their love to each other in private or in the presence of their family and friends.

A ceremony such as this can take on any form and I encourage couples to reflect their own philosophy and values when choosing their special ceremony.

A commitment may take the form of a wedding minus a marriage certificate, or it can be the promise of same sex couples to spend their life together. Either way they are beautiful ceremonies.

Tasmania is in the fortunate position for same sex couples to register their relationship with the Tasmanian Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages.

Name Givings

Name giving ceremonies are not new, they are almost as old as the human race. In Roman times, a son was not a legal member of the family until the father had him named in a ceremony.

Today. these lovely ceremonies are an occasion when a new birth is celebrated and a child is welcomed into our world. Family relationships are deepened and parents are reminded of their responsibilities.

This is an excellent occasion for the cultural expression of joy, hope and acceptance. Many couples choose to have a ‘naming ceremony’ where guardians are appointed, leaving the child free to make up his or her mind about future religious alternatives.

As a celebrant, it is wonderful to be invited to celebrate the birth of a little new one, especially after having married the parents.

“You are my partner for life, my equal and my strength and today I commit myself to you.”
