A civil marriage ceremony , whilst remaining in accordance with the laws of Australia, may be performed in practically any setting and could be a small intimate affair or the detailed wedding you have always dreamed of. Your ceremony may take the form of a relaxed and simple service in your home or you may require a larger, more formal ceremony at a traditional wedding venue. Most importantly, the occasion should reflect how you feel toward each other and bring emphasis to what is important in your union to make it a truly joyful and memorable experience.
Your ceremony may take one of many forms, or you may like to blend them, with numerous choices of content being available and combining these options will give you almost limitless choices. You may include your choice of marriage vows, poetry, prose or personal message of celebration, music of your choice and you may also like to incorporate family friends by way of, for example, readings, poetry, religious passages.
This is your special day and you have the selection of ceremony whether it be simple, traditional, informal even a contemporary wedding. The choice is YOURS!

Utilizing these resources may assist you to develop your unique wedding ceremony making selections of words and paragraphs as you feel appropriate - but of course there is no obligation to use any of them.
