Why a Civil Ceremony might Just be Right for You...
A Non-Traditional Wedding
Here at County Line Event Center, our packages include a civil ceremony, which is your legal marriage certificate. While church weddings are usually set in churches with priests, a civil ceremony is set in a non-religious setting with a marriage officiant running the ceremony, or if you’re lucky, it might be your church minister. This doesn’t mean it’s not a proper marriage, and it doesn’t mean you can’t have spiritual elements within the ceremony. Scriptures from the Bible can still be read, but if you are the type of couple who want the ceremony to run your way, with a unique touch in what is said, and what you do, than a non-traditional civil ceremony might just be right for you.
Why Choose A Civil CeremonyWedding?
There are multiple reasons why someone might choose a civil ceremony. If you’re not religious you may feel uncomfortable getting married in a church and going through the whole religious tradition, or maybe, you are religious, but just want to have a non-traditional ceremony. You can find a list of local officiants on Wedding Wire . Whatever the case, a civil ceremony may be more up your alley. This doesn’t mean everyone that’s not religious shouldn’t get married in a church. Some people want a church wedding because it’s traditional and they like the idea of a traditional wedding day.
Another reason you might choose a civil ceremony over a church wedding is because it might not be in your budget. Church weddings can cost a lot of money as you have to book the church, book transport to the church, and pay for any extras. Civil ceremonies can be a lot cheaper, depending upon the church you choose.
Also, civil ceremonies are much quicker. You can book a date and get married within a few weeks without having to worry about planning anything. It’s fast, and this suits some people who are interested in getting married sooner than later.
Furthermore, if you do want to plan a large wedding, you have more control over a civil ceremony. You aren’t bound by what the priest deems is acceptable or not. Likewise, some priests don’t preside over outdoor weddings, while a civil officiant will. Basically, you can create an your ideal ceremony without worrying so much about restrictions.
