COMMITMENT CEREMONIES:
A commitment ceremony is when two people commit their lives to one another. It is similar to a wedding and can include wedding traditions, but it does not result in a legally binding marriage.
Any couple who wants to have a commitment ceremony can have one regardless of their sexual orientation, religion, nationality, race, etc. Even those who are legally able to get married can decide to have a commitment ceremony instead. Because they aren't formally recognized by the church or province, there are no restrictions.
Just because you aren’t getting a legally binding marriage doesn’t mean you can’t partake in all the wedding traditions! Nothing is stopping you from walking down the aisle, having a bridal party, wearing a white dress or tuxedo— you can do whatever you please during your commitment ceremony. Unity Ceremonies are beautiful. Consider the Handfasting Ceremony.

With commitment ceremonies, there are no rules! Want to say vows? Go for it! Don’t? That’s fine too!
