The Ceremony
The Ceremony is important in many ways. Firstly, it provides the opportunity
for you both to declare your love & commitment publicly and legally to each
other. Secondly, it allows a chance for your family & friends to acknowledge &
witness your special unity & pay respects to the promises you both are making.
Lastly these time-honoured ceremonies help to guide our emotional, physical and
spiritual journey by marking these important milestones in our lives.
Weddings are slightly different to other types of ceremonies in that they have
serious legal implication. Only qualified & registered Celebrants can officiate
Wedding Ceremonies.
There are certain elements of the Ceremony that are non-negotiable. The
following is a basic outline of the elements you may (or may not) wish to consider
for your Ceremony.
The items in red are the non-negotiable items that the Australian Government
declare must be included for your Marriage to be Solemnised in the eyes of the
law.
The Typical Wedding Ceremony
As a bit of a guide, here is a standard outline for your typical ceremony. Only the
¡°Montium¡± and ¡°Legal Vows¡± are essential for a legal marriage( indicated in red).
The other parts are regularly added or mofified as you feel suitable for your
ceremony.
House Keeping
A good pre-ceremony opportunity to remind guests about mobile phones, any
instructions in regard to photos and mobile phones and social media. Also any
other important announcements about the days schedule or venue amenities.

Processional
In a more traditional Wedding, this is where the bridesmaids and bride (or
partner) enter the ceremony, usually accompanied by music.
(Suggested songs: - ¡°Here comes the Bride¡± by Wagner, ¡°Perfect¡± by Ed
Sheeran/Beyonce
¡°I will always love you¡± by Whitney Houston)
Giving Away
This is where one or both parents or the bride (or partner) can release their
ceremonial custody of their child over to their new life partner.
Introduction
The Celebrant will speak about your commitment to one another, what marriage
means to you both. Also, usually a little anecdotal accounts of how you both met.
Reading
Couples often use a reading or poem that is special to them. It is a lovely way to
include a relative or friend who may not otherwise be in the wedding party.
Monitum (required)
For the marriage to be legal, your Celebrant MUST read the Government issued
Monitum.
The Asking
One of the most Traditional elements of a Wedding Ceremony¡ this is the ¡°I Do¡±
bit!
Legal Vows (required)
These are the words you MUST say in the presence of your witnesses to
solemnise your marriage.

Personal Vows
Often couples will choose to write their own vows that more concisely represent
their relationship. They are usually spoken before or after the Legal Vows.
The Ring Exchange
The exchange of rings is a classic tradition in Western Culture.
Pronouncing
This is the part where your Celebrant will say ¡°I now pronounce you husband
and wife. You may now kiss your bride!¡± This is an important moment of the
ceremony- one which seems to delight both the couple and the guests, who are
eager to see your first kiss as a married couple.
Signing of the Register (required)
The paperwork must be completed by the married couple, plus two of their
chosen witnesses and their Celebrant to finalise their marriage. This is a great
time to provide some music, as it often takes 5-10 minutes to finalise everything
and get some special photos.
(Suggested songs:- ¡°I¡¯m yours¡± by Jason Maraz, ¡°Somewhere over the rainbow¡±
by Israel Kamakawiwo¡¯ole, ¡°Blue Moon¡± by The Marcels.)
