Marriage Celebrant linksCan we include religion in a civil ceremony? civil ceremony links

Yes! It is your ceremony and you can include what you like.

The only constraint is that, in a civil marriage, you cannot use the full marriage rites of a particular religion and make it appear that it is a ceremony sanctioned by that particular religion.

You can include prayers, blessings and cultural religious elements into your ceremony, provided your celebrant is comfortable to perform these. Or you can ask a special family member or friend to perform these parts of the ceremony.

If you are not affiliated with a particular religion but would like a spiritual wedding, there are many wonderful websites around to give you ideas for ceremonies. Have a look in the resources section for links to a few of these. I am happy to work with you to craft a spiritual wedding that is uplifting and soulful.
