Access Civil Ceremonies would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your betrothal.
Allow us to help you celebrate your wedding ceremony with real style.
Your needs are our priority and we understand that special occasions like this one are made from being surrounded by friends and
the ones we love.
Now that you are engaged there are many things for you to consider when planning your wedding ceremony.
Where and when the ceremony will take place?
Who will be your Attendants and Witnesses to your marriage?
What theme will you choose? Will it be Formal or Casual?
Will you have a big traditional wedding or small intimate one?
There are so many other choices you will find yourself faced with. Who to invite, cars, dresses, flowers, invitations, photographers, caterers, reception venues,
honeymoon resorts, cakes, hairstyles etc. etc. the list goes on and on.
All of his can be very stressful. is not my role to comment on any of these situations because it is not my area of expertise.
But, What I can help you with is to provide you with the type of Wedding Ceremony that you want. One which complements the theme of your wedding, your personalities
and incorporates all of the aspects of your relationship that you want included which will really Personalize your Ceremony.
You and your Fiance/e are unique. Your Love is Unique Your Relationship is Unique. Your hopes and desires for the future are yours alone. Allow us to
incorporate these thoughts, hopes and dreams into your Civil Marriage Ceremony to make it Uniquely Yours!
There are some things that a Civil Marriage Celebrant must say to make a marriage Legal in Australia. This is called the Monitum. Apart from these few
legally required words the rest of the ceremony is yours to do with as you wish. You can include whomever you want and whatever symbols and rituals that are meaningful
to you.
You may have as many readers or speakers as you feel comfortable with. Your Children or even your pets can be included if that is what you would like.
Remember it is YOUR DAY!
You may find that some Celebrants will offer you a few pre - written ceremonies from which to choose and a couple of readings you can incorporate if you wish.
At Access Civil Ceremonies we work with you to design a ceremony that is truly yours. We will help you write your own vows if that is what you want or we can offer
a selection from which you can choose. These can be used as they are or used as a model from which to write your own.
Ring ceremonies too, can be especially written for you. You can write your own or you may opt for one of the more traditional choices of words.
I offer a large selection of resources from which to choose.
Here are a few ideas to get you started.
This is the Traditional Wedding Vow:
Celebrant: "[Groom's name], do you take [Bride's Name] to be your wedded wife to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love, comfort, honor and keep her
for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her so long as you both shall live?"
Groom: "I do."
Celebrant:"[Wife's name], do you take [Groom's Name] to be your wedded husband to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love, comfort, honor and keep
him for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her so long as you both shall live?"
Bride: "I do."
