What is a commitment ceremony?

You Probably have come across the term ‘commitment ceremony’ and asked yourself how id it differs from a Wedding ceremony. So what does it mean, what is the difference?

A commitment ceremony is very similar to a wedding ceremony. Involves as much planning effort as a wedding ceremony. The only difference is that one is legally binding while the other is not. A commitment ceremony stands as a public affirmation of a couple’s commitment to one another, without it being recognized by the law. You don’t need a real officiant, it can be performed by a celebrant. Other than that the couple will exchange vows and rings,  often read a poem and desired rituals, that fit couple beliefs.

Commitment ceremony vs marriage ceremony.

We noticed, not everyone wants to get married or wants to have a civil partnership. Some people don’t believe in the institution of marriage and others believe that the state should not have a role in the commitment that you make to the person you love. As a result, there are many couples that choose a commitment ceremony over a legally-binding marriage ceremony. For instance, a couple who have both been in marriages previously may choose to demonstrate their love for one another through a commitment ceremony.

You are aware,  marriage was not always an option for LGBTI partners. As a consequence, some LGBTI families have found other ways to celebrate their relationships and mark their importance through such ceremonies. However, Since January 6, 2015, Same-sex marriage has been legally recognized in the U.S. state of Florida, as well as all other states. Finally, same-sex couples can choose which route they prefer to go.

And still, For some same-sex couples the idea of getting married or having a civil partnership isn’t appealing or necessary. But at the same time, they may wish to celebrate their relationship and mark their commitment to each other. In these scenarios, commitment ceremonies are a good option.

It’s an alternative way to profess your love for one another without the complicated paperwork.

At Perfect Event Agency, we are excited to celebrate the decision of two people in their commitment to join their love, life-long goals, and dreams event without legal binding!  No forms, no fuss. Celebrating your relationship is an important part of maintaining the vitality of your relationship.

So What happens at the commitment ceremony?

A commitment ceremony can either be a private affair or it can be much more public. The ceremony can, for example, involve a very public declaration of your commitment to each other.  For example, we had a couple that wanted their families to know they are officially married. They chose to have a commitment ceremony instead without letting their conservative families know. As a result, everyone is happy, the couple continues to live without legal obligation to one another, and their families and friends are convinced it was a real thing!

Commitment ceremonies can focus on the sacred and involve a focus on spirituality. Alternatively, a commitment ceremony can involve a large party with little or no reference to spirituality.

Things Brides wish they knew before planning a wedding!

You got engaged, the happiest moment of your life! You will get to celebrate your wedding day with the person you want to grow old with! And then enjoy the neverending honeymoon. But, once you start thinking about an actual wedding day, you might start to panic! There are so many things to do, to remember, to double check, to think of … That fear, that you’ll do something…or forget to do something… that fear might ruin your wedding day! That experience transforms smart, capable, sane young women into neurotics suffering from panic attacks, headaches, stomach pain and sleepless nights.

We’ve seen dozens of brides after their weddings and asked them, “If you were planning your wedding all over again, what would you do differently and WHY?” We suggest you learn from somebody else’s mistakes!
Most brides have same answers. All of them made common mistakes, perhaps trying to save money, not hiring professionals or just ignoring a valuable advice.
Now, try to see if you would have done same mistakes planning your wedding day:

Hire a Professional Photographer

Many brides thought they can save money on many things, including a Photographer. while shopping for your wedding photographer you will get many quotes and will see many different styles of photography. You should see the difference between good and bad photograph, boring and artistic photograph. This is what will determine the price of photo services.

Do not Compromise! After all, these photos will be your everlasting memories, that you will, hopefully, look at for the rest of your life.
Many brides regret not asking a Photographer to get a photograph with their nearest and dearest.
The day is often such an overwhelming blur that it’s easy to forget to be photographed with the people you love the most. Professional Photographers will discuss your requirements prior to the wedding day and they’ll give you a little nudge on the day to prompt the important shots. They will hunt you down and make you pose!

“I gave my photographer a list of pictures I wanted,” Kristina said, “but I didn’t get one shot with my grandmother. She complains about it every time I see her! I wish I’d been more specific.”
I was disappointed as soon as I saw the photos after our wedding. There were so few photos that I felt I could put in a picture frame – many were blurred – or people had their heads cut off – the lighting was all wrong! Since I have become a wedding supplier I have been following the wedding blogs and every day I see the most wonderful wedding photos and I so wish that we had employed a wedding photographer to capture our special day.

 

Had a wedding video

This is the number one biggest Bridal regret. Having decent photographs is one thing, but a wedding video truly captures the day. Those that organized a professional to shoot the whole day on film were really glad they had spent the extra money.

 

Lived in the moment

A lot of Brides become so overwhelmed on their wedding day that they forget to take a step back, breathe and just look at what they’ve created. And finally, enjoy it!
It’s your day, so don’t end up annoyed that you didn’t enjoy every minute of it because you were running around making sure everyone is happy.

 

Hired a Wedding Planner

We couldn’t count the number of times we’ve heard “I wish I’d had a Wedding Planner”.
Sooo many brides only realize how stressful planning their wedding would be after their big day, and they desperately wish they’d reached out for some help and guidance before it all got too much.
Perfect Event Agency team will be on site for your entire planning process to ensure everything runs smoothly.

 

Taken a spare pair of comfortable shoes

Did not think about it yet? Well, think again! What ruins a night? Sore feet!
Don’t forget that you’ll be wearing your wedding shoes from mid-morning. Your feet are bound to throb as the day progresses. Have your Maid of Honour look after some comfy flats for you.

Letting the stress take over


The day will go extremely quickly, so it’s important to make the most of it and truly enjoy every moment.
“I made my decisions and then I started second-guessing myself,” Mia sighed. “I kept worrying about whether I’d made the right choice. I burned up all this energy being stressed out, instead of enjoying what it felt like to be engaged.”
Jessica told us that in the end, she discovered that all her team work with her event planner and research paid off…she DID make the right choices. “I should have trusted myself, trusted my event planner instead of worrying. In the end, everything turned out fine.”

 

I Would Have Savored My Engagement More.

Lisa had a two-year engagement. She gave herself months and months to plan. Still, as soon as he proposed, she dove right into planning.

“I’d been casually shopping around for a dress months before Philip proposed, I knew it was coming” Anna admitted, “so when it finally happened I knew exactly which one I wanted. I started hunting down my photographer and location right away, without even taking a breath.” Lisa was so busy doing things for her engagement that she forgot to notice what it felt like to be engaged. “Looking back, I wished I had slowed down my engagement and let it last longer. Everything went so fast!” she said.

There’s a lot to do when you’re planning a wedding. But as important as it is to do those tasks, it’s also important to take the time to enjoy the experience.
Every few moments, slow down, take a deep breath, and reflect. “This is my wedding I’m planning. I’m getting married!”
No matter how long your engagement, it’s going to FLY. Take the time to savor it.

I Would Have Invited Fewer Guests.

We believe in intimate weddings! You would not want to see people at your wedding that you might not even know! Or invite an old friend from school just to show her how beautiful your wedding compares to her (we all have those thoughts). Well, time to think again, and make some prediction on how it is going to go on a wedding day!

“My one regret,” Diana said, “was having so many people. I chose an average location for my wedding so that I could invite all of the guests on my list and stay within budget. But I wish I hadn’t invited those ‘obligated’ guests. I could have invited fewer people and afforded a much nicer place.”

Brooke found herself in a similar situation. “I only had so much money to spend,” she told me. “My parents pressured me to invite a lot of their friends. There were people at my wedding that I didn’t even know!”

On your wedding day, you owe it to yourself to be surrounded by your closest family and friends. PERIOD. You want to feel loved, enjoy positive vibes and see smiles and happy tears on your friend’s faces! You don’t need drama either on your wedding day or after!

How to write wedding vows

If you’re writing your own vows, you’ve chosen an incredible and meaningful way to personalize your wedding ceremony. It’s a chance to tell your story, give guests a peek into what makes your relationship tick, and to share meaningful, sweet words with the person you love. It can also be a pretty challenging task because it’s so intimate—you’re really baring your heart to your fiancé, and you’re doing so in front of your family and friends.

There’s no one template for non-traditional wedding vows, but there are a few pointers that’ll help you craft them. Whether you’re searching for phrasing inspiration, looking for formatting examples, or have specific questions (“How long should wedding vows be?”), we’ve got you covered. Your wedding vow structure is entirely up to you—that’s the beauty of a personalized exchange. Still, most couples appreciate some guidance, which you can find ahead.

Before you take the plunge, remember this: Wedding vows are important because they’re a concrete symbol of your union and commitment. The promises you make to one another on your big day will set the tone for your entire marriage.

 

Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute

Plan to have your vows written at least three weeks before your wedding. This will give you time to write without the added pressure of the approaching day and also give you time to practice reciting your vows in front of the mirror. Trust us: You’ll be thankful for the rehearsal when those wedding day jitters kick in!

Start Separately

When you’re ready, schedule some alone time to work on your vows independently. Even if you’re planning on having your a coordinated exchange, you don’t want to influence each other’s words just yet. We recommend starting about one month before the big day. By then, all your planning and decision-making will be nearly finished, and you can focus your mind and heart squarely on the day’s emotion.

Ask Yourself Questions

You have to stay true to yourself and your loved one. Ask yourself questions like “Why have I chosen this person to be my partner? What do I love most about him or her?” Take time to really think about the answers, and translate them into a vow. Open your heart and write your feelings on the paper, we promise you, it’s the easiest way!

Look for inspiration

Once you’ve gathered your own thoughts, feel free to start looking for external inspiration. Some brides and grooms consult movies, books, or other couple’s vows. Go ahead and borrow a favorite quote if you’d like. You can also mix traditional wording with personalized phrasing.

Consider Formatting

Who says you have to stick to prose? Go ahead and draft a poem, a song, or a list of why you love your future spouse. That being said, you can also pull from the past, or simply rehearse an updated version of tradition. For example, you might want to replace “till death do us part” with “as long as we both shall live.”

Stay True to Yourself

Don’t feel the pressure to write something that sounds formal. Speak from your heart and de­scribe your emotions. Then edit the text so that it stands the test of time—consider whether you will feel moved by these words when you look back on them later. If comedy isn’t your thing, then don’t try to be funny. Your vows are about you, so don’t force anything unnatural. Does that mean saying something sappy, instead? Go right ahead.

Consult Each Other

Eventually, make a date to sit down together to share your thoughts. If you want your specific words to be a surprise, at the very least, ensure you both agree on each other’s length or format. We also advise getting permission before sharing something especially intimate about your partner or relationship.

You may also decide to have multiple versions—one for your public ceremony, and one to share privately. Discuss this option, too.

Preserve Them

You’ve worked too hard not to have a copy forever. We like keepsake vow booklets for this purpose. Alternatively or additionally, honor them in other ways, like as décor at your reception.
