It is not only for same sex couples, but also for couples with different religious beliefs, or simply not wishing to marry.

Australian law specifies that marriage must be between a man and a woman.  This means that same sex couples cannot marry under Australian law.  There is nothing preventing marriage celebrants conducting a ceremony, such as a commitment ceremony, to publicly celebrate the same sex relationship. 

Today many same sex couples fill the need to commit to each other similar to couples being married.  A Commitment Ceremony is a way of declaring your heart felt desire to share your life with another before your family and friends. 

This ceremony is similar to a wedding ceremony with a few minor changes, but still incorporating readings, vows, exchange of rings a unique, sensitive and special ceremony that reflects their commitment to each other.

Look forward to your contact, to discuss your commitment ceremony.
