Humanist wedding ceremonies – The best thing about being a Humanist Wedding Celebrant is to give every couple the freedom to choose exactly how they want their ceremony to unfold. It is an individual choice that brings all the elements of a meaningful ceremony, celebrating different backgrounds and a new life together. This includes not just the location but also the words and symbolic acts which feel close to the couple’s hearts. Some ideas for Symbolic Acts.
A Humanist wedding ceremony is a non-religious ceremony that allows two people to decide their way of getting married. A Humanist ceremony is inclusive regardless of the faith or beliefs your guests may have. You don’t have to be Humanists yourselves in order to have a Humanist ceremony.
Roughly speaking, the word humanist means someone who trusts the scientific method when it comes to understanding how the universe works and rejects the idea of the supernatural (and is therefore an atheist or agnostic).
A Humanist is someone who makes their ethical decisions based on reason, empathy, and concern for human beings and other sentient animals. They don’t believe in an afterlife, rather human beings can act to give their own lives meaning by seeking happiness in this life and helping others to do the same.
