Planning a non religious wedding ceremony

Planning a non religious wedding ceremony is a subject quite controversial and opinions are very divided. On a hand, it is considered a sacred ritual, which must occur in a place as holy, namely the church. On the other hand, however, outdoor religious ceremony is considered a commercial matter, borrowed from other countries, like many others rituals and traditions. There is also a third camp, the people who appreciate privacy, beauty and elegance which are proposed by such a special moment.  Personally, I join them and I, in my turn I would opt for such a ceremony.




The reasons are purely objective. First of all, I’d like to skip the annoying moment when waiting to end the others couple ceremony scheduled before mine, and we all know that ceremonies, especially those hold in a big city or in the capital, are at great demand. We should cope with the crowd and even with the outside heat, especially if we’d like getting married in summer time. Moreover, there are lots of people around the church, many of them are beggars always present in the churchyard or in front of it and they don’t let you to enjoy your time even for a moment. Should I also specify that  they also will appear in your wedding pictures?

So why not avoid all these inconveniences and try something different? Planning a non religious wedding ceremony is not about skiping your destinity unity before God, but is about planning this important moment in a special manner such as an outdoor ceremony. And here are some advantages.  Costs aren’t high and satisfaction is guaranteed. A beautiful setting, with red carpet, columns adorned with flowers,  an arch under which you will say “Yes” to one another, chairs for guests to feel comfortable and normal duration of a ceremony (which is about 40 minutes -1 hour, depending on your Unity ritual chosen by you). And in the end 10 pigeons whose flight will emphasize this precious moment.

The only inconveniences may be finding a priest who would agree to marry you  outside the church and, at worst, a rain can really ruin this moment. Still, a good friend of yours can highligh this event through poems, Bible or literature readings.  Personally, I’d like that the groomsman to read some paragraphs from my personal diary where I used to write important episodes about my relationship, my feelings and my happinnes which sometimes has no limits. I know that is nothing original because already many brides opted for this intimate and romantic idea, but still I’d like to include it also in my non religious ceremony.  My opinion is that you need to risk and, if you really want and love each other, then even the weather will be on your side!
