Cérémonie Laïque : Guide, Rituel et Idées pour un Mariage Personnalisé

First, you need to find someone to officiate the ceremony. This could be a qualified officiant, a pastor, or even someone close to you. But this person must be a good speaker and know you well in order to convey your feelings, emotions, and everyday life to your guests by telling your story, sharing anecdotes, etc.! 

Next, you need to decide on your location: the garden of a castle, a large garden, the garden of your childhood, etc. The location you choose may or may not have a connection to you or your partner! The main thing is that you feel in harmony with your location! 

What rituals are there? 

There are many rituals, but you can create your own—that's the advantage of this ceremony. A 100% customizable ceremony!  But for those who don't necessarily have any ideas, here is a comprehensive list of some rituals. 

Among the best known are: 

• The sand ritual: you have two different colors of sand that you must mix together to show that through this union you become inseparable, as the grains can no longer be separated after being mixed together. 
• The candle ritual: the candles symbolize the past, the present, the future, and infinity.
• The ribbon ritual: the ribbons symbolize love, fidelity, solidarity, trust, etc., and these ribbons are wrapped around your hands to symbolize this union.
