Commitment Ceremonies
| I am a gay-positive authorised and accredited Civil Marriage,
Naming and General Celebrant based in Northgate in the northern
suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, and I am happy to
perform ceremonies at the venue of your choice anywhere in the
Greater Brisbane area, including Ipswich, Redcliffe, Redlands
and Logan, as well as the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.
I specialise in (and delight in) providing custom-created
same sex commitment ceremonies, baby naming ceremonies, reaffirmation
of commitment vows, housewarming and end-of-relationship ceremonies
for gay and lesbian couples, celebrating and reflecting who
you are and your relationship.
A ceremony takes a very short time - and when it is over
all that remains is your memories some artefacts, and your
photographs. So, I spare no effort to ensure that your ceremony
is unique, reflecting who you are, your values and beliefs,
and that your ceremony is inclusive, and crafted with creativity
and imagination - a real celebration. Every ceremony I perform
is individually written to your specifications. |

The Marriage Act 1961 refers to marriage as "...the
union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others,
voluntarily entered into for life." Accordingly, it is
not possible for same sex couples to marry under existing
Australian law. But that is not a reason to forgo a public
ceremony that is an act of love.
While a commitment ceremony has no legal standing, it is
a ceremony that makes public love your love for each other
and your commitment to your relationship. It is therefore
an important and moral act that will reaffirm your commitment
and love and therefore provide a sense of stability and permanence.
Importantly, because you are acknowledging the uniqueness
and commitment of your relationship and sharing your joy in
it with those close to you, a commitment ceremony will remind
everyone present that love is not the sole preserve of the
straight, that lovers committing themselves to each other
is positive and speaks of hope to us all, that private love
has public consequences in that it raises up communities as
well as individuals.
It is reality that many lesbians and gay men do not have
the acceptance and support of their families because those
families find it hard to accept their sexual orientation.
Where a same sex couple have decided to commit to each other
for life, a commitment ceremony can be a healing as well as
a joyous occasion because a public acknowledgement of your
desire to live together in a committed monogamous relationship
may help family and friends move closer to acceptance. |
The format of a same sex commitment ceremony is very like
that of a wedding because the couple's commitments, hopes,
aspirations and ideals tend to be very similar. However, there
is absolutely no reason that it should be virtually indistinguishable
from a straight ceremony except for some minor changes in
terminology, as my sample ceremony demonstrates. My commitment
ceremonies are a celebration of your relationship, not a standard
marriage ceremony with the 'legal bits' omitted.
A commitment ceremony allows you, as a couple, to make yourself
heard, to tell your truth and your intentions, it allows you
to celebrate something that is really important to you, your
wonderful, challenging, loving and fulfilling relationship,
and it gathers your community together, giving them an opportunity
to reflect on your words in a formal setting and to support
your relationship.
The planning of your ceremony, in particular the vows you
make to each other, is an integral part of your relationship,
so it is important that your ceremony reflects who you are.
using an intensive information gathering process, I will create
a unique ceremony for you, ensuring that the words, readings
and symbols capture your desire to proclaim and formalise
your connection in a way that reflects what you and your partner
most value. I do so with the following commitment to couples
who love each other, and just happen to be of the same sex.
I will not only perform a commitment ceremony for you, I will
be honoured and happy to do so, and I will spare no effort
to ensure that your ceremony contributes a great deal to a
day that is rich with happiness and warm with special moments
to remember. |
