Like many couples wanting to make a lifelong commitment to each other, you may want to do so in your own way. You might want the special part of the ceremony to be shared by more friends and family than a Register Office can accommodate. You may prefer to hold your ceremony in a place which is special to you. You might want people close to you to have particular roles. You’ll probably want to choose readings and music which mean something to you. Having a humanist wedding can make celebrating your commitment very special. In England and Wales, couples who choose to have a humanist wedding or partnership ceremony also need to complete the legal formalities and obtain a civil marriage certificate at a Register Office.
