Same Sex Wedding Ceremonies
FOR MANY YEARS NOW CIVIL PARTNERSHIPS AND SAME SEX CEREMONIES HAVE BEEN LEGAL IN THE UNITED KINGDOM BUT IN GENERAL, THE SERVICE TENDS TO BE QUITE SHORT AND THE CONTENT RESTRICTED. THANKFULLY, THAT DOES NOT NEED TO BE THE CASE AT ALL!
You still need to complete the legal side with a registrar, which can be done quickly at a time and date of your choosing, it does not have to be on the same day as your celebration, it is your choice.
Thereafter, your options are endless and this is where Jon can create the ceremony that celebrates your love for each other. As an Independent Celebrant, Jon has the total freedom to design a ceremony that truly reflects you as a couple, captures your love story and honours your lifetime commitment to each other.
No ceremony he creates are the same, it will be your bespoke ceremony and as unique as you are as a couple, the sky really is your limit and your imagination the boundaries. It can be at a time and place of your choosing, contain as much or as little religion as you wish, the vows will be personal to you, the poetry and readings will be your choice, the music will be what you decide, there really are no restrictions.
You can involve your friends and family, your children can be a part of the ceremony, there are an abundance of symbolic elements where they can participate, Sand Ceremonies, Unity Candles, Blessing of Rings and many more, each very special that will symbolise your love for each other. Just imagine the ceremony of your dreams, on a beach, in the woods, some beautiful gardens or just in a place that has significance in your lives.
It would be an honour for Jon to create your bespoke ceremony and be a part of this very special day.

Just a gentle reminder that this ceremony is not legally binding in the UK. Jon has used the term ‘Wedding’ throughout, it is not a ‘Marriage’, if you wish to ensure that your marriage is recognised legally in the UK, you must book an appointment with your local registry office and comply with the legal proceedings. It does not have to be on the same day, it is your choice.
If you would like any further information, please do not hesitate to give Jon a call.
