Civil Ceremony
A civil ceremony is a non-religious legal event where two individuals formally unite in marriage. It is conducted by a government official, such as a judge or a registrar, and typically takes place in a public venue like a courthouse or city hall. This type of ceremony focuses on the legal aspects of marriage rather than religious traditions.
Civil ceremonies are often chosen by couples who prefer a simple, straightforward approach to marriage. They can be personalized with vows and readings, but they do not include religious elements. This option is available in many countries and is recognized by law, ensuring that the marriage is valid and binding.
