Having a Secular Wedding Ceremony
With the number of mixed (interfaith) marriages taking
place, many couples today are opting to have a secular
ceremony instead of a religious ceremony for their wedding.
This allows them to include special readings, vows, symbols
or wedding themes (whether religious or not) that they may
not be able to include in a religious ceremony or location.
A secular ceremony contains no religious elements (except for what the couple may add) and can
be performed in a venue of your choice, depending on the area in which you wish to get married
in. It is a good idea to interview at least two different officiants; to compare their style and make
sure you are comfortable with the ceremony structure. It is important that you feel comfortable
with the officiant who is performing the ceremony and that you feel that he/she is interested in
you as a couple.
Keep in mind to budget for the various fees, such as the officiant's fee (for the ceremony), the
ceremony site fee, and the marriage license fee. Let Wedding Ceremony Services help you find
ceremony resources.
As with any marriage ceremony in Missouri and Illinois, you will need to have two witnesses to sign
the legal documents (over age 18) once the ceremony is performed.
All-in-all, a secular ceremony is much more flexible in today's world. You both may incorporate
aspects of each of your religions if you wish, write your own vows and have any type of wedding
theme you want, whereas a typical religious ceremony tends to restrict much of this. Secular
ceremonies also tend to be a favorite with the budget conscious couple, as they are usually much
cheaper in the long run.
Whatever type of ceremony you choose, the most important thing to remember is to do what
makes you happy as a couple. It is your wedding after all!
