Today I would like to talk about a topic that is very close to my heart. Increasingly so. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Among the couples who write to me and whom I meet, many turn to a secular ceremony for one of the following reasons: <b>they are non-believers, they don\u2019t consider themselves as being very religious or they want to be united outside of a church. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So far, it\u2019s only natural that they should pick <span class=\"s2\">another option<\/span> to get married, right? Yes, but\u2026 I would like to dig deeper into this question because the answer is not as straightforward as it seems. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A secular wedding, a mere alternative to a religious wedding? Not so sure\u2026 (and this is also true for <a href=\"https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/en\/secular-naming-ceremony\/\"><span class=\"s2\">secular baptisms<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10093\" src=\"https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/preparation-mariage-laique.jpg\" alt=\"secular ceremony preparations\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/preparation-mariage-laique.jpg 600w, https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/preparation-mariage-laique-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/preparation-mariage-laique-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A deep journey<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A secular ceremony is not and should be just a plan B to a religious ceremony. <b>This type of ceremony, to be perfectly constructed, requires <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/en\/role-officiant-secular-ceremony\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>significative<\/b><\/span><\/a><b> and <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/en\/secular-wedding-switzerland\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>in-depth planning<\/b><\/span><\/a>. As we focus on the couple, their story, their values, what makes them unique: there\u2019s no miracle, it requires time, thoughts and a healthy dose of imagination from everyone involved. To produce something as close as possible as to what the commitment means to the newlyweds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/en\/6-essential-tips-officiant-choice\/\"><span class=\"s2\">good officiant<\/span><\/a> will know how to draw that out, by helping the couple\u2019s journey towards the answers to some of the most fundamental and intimate questions. And the officiant will draw her or his creative cards to fulfill the newlyweds\u2019 desires and wishes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>&nbsp;A secular ceremony is much more than an alternative to a religious ceremony.<\/b> It emphasizes a double question that is essential and yet not always raised: \u201cWhy do I want to get married, to you?\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10090\" src=\"https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mariage-laique-alternative-mariage-religieux.jpg\" alt=\"secular wedding alternative to religious wedding\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mariage-laique-alternative-mariage-religieux.jpg 600w, https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mariage-laique-alternative-mariage-religieux-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mariage-laique-alternative-mariage-religieux-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The place of spirituality in a secular ceremony<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00ab&nbsp;I don\u2019t believe.&nbsp;\u00bb Here is an interesting wording. I notice we often associate the church with the notion of being a believer or not. But you can believe in many things: The Universe, a philosophy, Nature, and of course Love. Elements that guide and give a rhythm to our way of living, without necessarily being associated with God. Or you can consider them your own God. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&nbsp;This is why, in my opinion, a secular ceremony is not necessarily an antagonism to a more traditional ceremony. <b>Based on specific beliefs or not, the secular ceremony resembles a quest for meaning and a need to ritualize this moment in one\u2019s life<\/b>. An ancestral need that does not disappear and seems to even strengthen in today\u2019s society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10092\" src=\"https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mariage-laique-religieux.jpg\" alt=\"secular religious wedding\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mariage-laique-religieux.jpg 600w, https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mariage-laique-religieux-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mariage-laique-religieux-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A freedom without limits (or close to)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Where a secular ceremony rises above being a mere alternative to a religious ceremony is also and mostly because of the freedom it provides. On the choice of venue, of participants, of music, of symbols: everything is possible according to one\u2019s wishes and values. And everything is harmoniously tied together to focus on the place given to love.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I\u2019ve actually already officiated for religious couples, or when one of the partners had a special relationship with God. They wanted a completely personalized ceremony for the biggest day of their lives, which was not possible at the church. As I explained <a href=\"https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/en\/secular-wedding-non-religious\/\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a>, secular does not mean atheist. <b>Everyone will find ways to refer to their personal beliefs, with the officiant\u2019s opening.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10091\" src=\"https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mariage-laique-alternative-religieux.jpg\" alt=\"secular ceremony religious marriage alternative \" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mariage-laique-alternative-religieux.jpg 600w, https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mariage-laique-alternative-religieux-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marylinrebelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/mariage-laique-alternative-religieux-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Final word<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I hope I\u2019ve managed to share my feelings with this article and that the points I\u2019ve mentioned will help newlyweds-to-be make an informed decision.
