Confusing, out of date and restrictive – that’s The Law Commission’s clear view on wedding rules as published in their review today. Yes, the country might be sweltering and the government might be floundering but weddings still made the news today, as the long awaited Law Commission report makes it clear that the rules around weddings need to be updated. They recommend that the officiant leading the ceremony rather than a building or location is licensed, the wording for ceremonies becomes much more flexible, preliminary steps to a ceremony can be completed online and, most importantly, these new laws would apply to all weddings, regardless of the religion or beliefs 🙌 Marriage isn’t, and shouldn’t be, a one-size-fits-all. It’s unique, personal, individual and ultimately, it’s made by two people who’ve chosen each other and those two people should be the ones who choose a wedding ceremony that works for them. Creating a marriage that you love starts with a ceremony that moves you and vows that you speak from the heart. Whether you choose traditional vows or whether you opt for something more modern, it’s your choice and that’s just how it should be. _____ Read our full response to The Law Commission Report, 'Celebrating Marriage: A New Weddings Law', over on Love My Dress today:- #linkinbio, or, lovemydress.net/lawcommissionreport Our love and thanks to the following for taking the time to share comment: @candidapple (article author) @kellychandlerconsulting @celebrantofsurrey @thecelebrantdirectory Do share your thoughts below ✔️
