Unions

“The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here.” —Robert Green Ingersoll

WeddingsIn the past, brides were promised, sold or given away without their consent; grooms traded titles for dowries and married women they had never met. Marriages were arranged, sometimes by a marriage broker, by village elders or by parents. There were "marriages of convenience" and "shotgun weddings." For most people, things have changed for the better -- we marry someone we choose ourselves and we marry for love. Celebrations is here to make your choice a beautiful and joyous occasion.

Sometimes a person is being married to a second or third partner.  Many times, a couple's union is not recognized by an established church, family or community.  Sometimes, one or both of the partners holds no religious belief and refuse to join a church to celebrate life's many passages. Celebrations offers unique, romantic ceremonies that are personalized to the couple.

We acknowledge the special circumstances of same-gender partners and conduct beautiful, life-commitment celebrations that two people bring to their union.  We are Humanists and recognize the rights of all humans to choose their own life paths.  Love makes a family.
