Your wedding day is one of the most important events of your life.   You are expecting your family and friends to join you on this happiest day and to witness your expression of love and commitment to each other.   Your celebration should be one that shows truly the ideals and aspirations that will provide a firm foundation for the rest of your lives as well as providing very happy memories.

 An increasing number of couples are searching for a more inspiring alternative to the traditional wedding and a Humanist or non religious secular wedding provides this option.   Whatever your beliefs or backgrounds this alternative provides a platform to make a serious commitment to share the rest of your lives. 

 For those who want an individual ceremony with more meaningful and personal content than a civil ceremony, a Humanist wedding is the ideal answer.  It is designed to suit your particular needs, personalities and outlooks, and from the outset you are involved with the Celebrant in deciding exactly what you want it to include.  You can write your own vows, and select words and music that mean something to you, being as romantic and creative as you wish.  Where family members and friends make spoken or musical contributions, it adds enormously to the ceremony.  No two Humanist ceremonies are the same because each one is prepared and written to include your wishes and personality.

 Your ceremony can take place at any venue of your choice, indoors or outside.   A hotel or a garden can be used but more often now a unique setting in a Spanish mountain village makes for a memorable experience.   Perhaps a ceremony by moon light ? After the ceremony what better than a Spanish Gypsy Feast with Flamenco guitars in the background or you may prefer a quiet family meal.     

 No special licence is required but some couples may wish to do the ‘legal bit’ in the UK at a registry office, low key with just a couple of witnesses, before coming out to Spain for the full commitment vows and ceremony. Needless to say, they regard the Humanist ceremony as their ‘real’ wedding, and it is usually here that they exchange vows and rings.
(The paperwork for a legal wedding for foreigners in Spain takes many complex months to obtain).     

 Of course, same sex ceremonies can be arranged also renewal of vows at special anniversaries.
